The New York Mets (39-46) play the 2nd game of a 3-game series against the Arizona Diamondbacks (50-36) on Wednesday at Chase Field. First pitch is scheduled for 9:40 p.m. ET (MLB Network). Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Mets vs. Diamondbacks odds and make our expert MLB picks and predictions for the best bets.
Season series: Mets lead 1-0 after winning the series opener 8-5 on Tuesday
The Mets got home runs from OF Starling Marte, OF Brandon Nimmo, and C Francisco Alvarez in Tuesday’s victory. New York has won 3 consecutive games, but it remains 18 games behind the NL East-leading Atlanta Braves.
While the Diamondbacks lost the series open, it was a positive sign to see OF Corbin Carroll back in the lineup, who hit his 18th homer of the season. Arizona has recorded a 4-6 record in its last 10 contests but is still 2 1/2 games ahead of the Los Angeles Dodgers atop the NL West.

Mets at Diamondbacks picks and predictions
Prediction
Diamondbacks 5, Mets 4
Moneyline
The DIAMONDBACKS (-105) are my bet in Wednesday’s NL showdown despite the Mets winning 3 games in a row. Arizona is 24-21 at home compared to New York owning a 19-27 record on the road this season.
The Mets are also 1-5 in their last 6 games against a left-handed starter.
Run line/Against the spread
DIAMONDBACKS +1.5 (-165) is the play for those that aren’t comfortable taking Arizona to win outright. Senga struggles with walks and that could be costly against a Diamondbacks squad that has the 4th-most steals (83) in baseball.

Over/Under
UNDER 9.5 (-105) is the lean in this game despite the 1st game of the series hitting the Over. The Mets are 4-1-2 to the Under in their last 7 overall and the Diamondbacks are 5-1 to the Under in their last 6 overall.
