The New York Mets (72-64) and Chicago White Sox (31-106) conclude their 3-game series Sunday. First pitch from Guaranteed Rate Field is set for 2:10 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Mets vs. White Sox odds and make our expert MLB picks and predictions for the best bets.

Season series: Mets lead 2-0

New York won its 3rd game in a row and 2nd straight over the White Sox, 5-3 on Saturday after a 5-1 win Friday. Starter Jose Quintana held Chicago to 2 R (1 ER) in 5 IP on Saturday as LF Jesse Winker went 3-for-3 with a 2-run HR and 1B Pete Alonso also went deep. The Mets are 6-3 on their road trip which concludes Sunday.

Starter Davis Martin gave up 3 runs in the 1st inning and the White Sox never recovered. RBIs came from RF Corey Julks, DH Gavin Sheets, and 3B Miguel Vargas. It was Chicago’s 9th consecutive loss and 13th in the last 14 games.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3012″ ]

Mets at White Sox picks and predictions

Prediction

Mets 4, White Sox 2

Moneyline

PASS.

No doubt in my mind that the Mets (-175) will sweep this series on Sunday, but definitely not taking those odds. I’ll take my wager to the run line.

Run line/Against the spread

BET METS -1.5 (-105).

Taking the Mets -1.5 (-105) against the White Sox on Sunday is a solid play. The Mets have been pretty strong on the road, going 37-31, and Manaea has been a big part of that. They also hit better against lefties, which is great news for this matchup. Plus, they’re looking to cap off their 10-game road  trip on a high note after sweeping the Colorado Rockies.

Meanwhile, the White Sox are a mess with just 11 wins in day games and a 56-80 record against the run line this season. The Mets should cover the spread pretty easily.

Over/Under

BET UNDER 8 (-105).

Going with the Under seems like a smart choice. These teams have gone under in 8 of their last 10 meetings, and the White Sox have hit the Under in their last 5 games and the Mets in their last 3. Plus, Crochet has allowed more than 3 ER only once in his last 22 starts, and Manaea hasn’t given up more than 3 ER in his last 7 starts. With these trends, a low-scoring game looks pretty likely.

New York Mets at Los Angeles Angels odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Friday’s New York Mets at Los Angeles Angels odds and lines, with MLB expert picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The New York Mets (57-51) and Los Angeles Angels (47-61) begin a 3-game series Friday. First pitch from Angel Stadium is set for 9:38 p.m. Let’s analyze FanDuel Sportsbook’s lines around the Mets vs. Angels odds and make our expert MLB picks and predictions for the best bets.

Season series: First meeting; Angels won 2 of 3 in 2023

New York heads to Los Angeles after going 4-3 on a 7-game homestand. They lost to the Minnesota Twins 8-3 on Wednesday after an awful outing from RHP Luis Severino (3 IP, 6 ER, 6 H, 2 BB, 2 K). The Mets are 27-22 on the road and 54-54 against the spread (ATS).

The Angels are 2-5 during their current 10-game homestand. They blew a 9th-inning lead and lost  5-4 to the Colorado Rockies Thursday night. RHP Carson Fulmer got a no-decision despite a terrific outing (6 IP, 2 ER, 3 H, 1 BB, 1 HR, 8 K) after RHP Hunter Strickland allowed 2 runs in the top of the 9th. Los Angeles got home runs from CF Mickey Moniak and C Logan O’Hoppe. The Angels 24-34 at home and 60-48 ATS.

Mets at Angels projected starters

RHP Paul Blackburn vs. LHP Tyler Anderson

Blackburn (4-2, 4.41 ERA) makes his 1st start for the Mets. He has a 1.16 WHIP, 2.5 BB/9 and 6.7 K/9 in 51 IP in 9 starts for the Oakland A’s.

  • Last start: Win, 5 IP, 4 ER, 5 H, 1 BB, 2 K in 5-4 road victory against Los Angeles Angels last Friday
  • 2024 road splits: 2-2, 7.56 ERA (25 IP, 21 ER), 1.28 WHIP, 7.6 K/9 in 5 starts

Anderson (8-9, 2.96 ERA) makes his 22nd start. He has a 1.14 WHIP, 3.4 BB/9 and 6.8 K/9 in 130 2/3 IP.

  • Last start: Loss, 7 IP, 3 ER, 6 H, 1 BB, 10 K in 3-1 loss against the A’s on Saturday
  • 2024 road splits: 3-6, 3.88 ERA (72 IP, 31 ER), 1.28 WHIP, 6.5 K/9 in 12 starts
  • Career vs. Mets: 2-2, 2.45 ERA, 29 1/3 IP, 8 ER, 31 H, 2 BB, 20 K in 5 starts

Mets at Angels odds

Provided by FanDuel Sportsbook; access USA TODAY Sports Scores and Sports Betting Odds hub for a full list. Lines last updated at 12:46 a.m. ET.

  • Moneyline (ML): Mets -138 (bet $138 to win $100) | Angels +118 (bet $100 to win $118)
  • Run line (RL)/Against the spread: Mets -1.5 (+116) | Angels -1.5 (-140)
  • Over/Under (O/U): 9 (O: -105 | U: -115)

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3012″ ]

Mets at Angels picks and predictions

Prediction

Angels 6, Mets 4

Moneyline

BET ANGELS (+118).

I’ve got the Angels taking the opener of this 3-game set behind Anderson. He has a good history against New York, winning 2 of his last 3 starts against the Mets and allowing just 4 total ER over his last 18 innings pitched.

Blackburn has history against the Angels having pitched in the AL West. He is 4-0 against them in 6 starts, but he has allowed at least 4 ER in 4 of his last 5 starts.

These 2 teams have split their last 10 meetings, which basically makes this game a toss up. Another reason I’d like to jump on the home team getting plus odds.

Run line/Against the spread

PASS.

I’m going to keep my bet to the moneyline.

Over/Under

PASS.

I don’t have a good lean either way on this one. You’ve got one starter making his debut for a team on the road and another one who is very inconsistent.

The teams are 5-5 against the Over in their last 10 meetings. Both the Mets and Angels are 6-4 against the Under in their last 10 games.

There are just too many up-in-the-area variables to like this bet one way or another. I’ll just stick to the moneyline.

Analyzing Monday’s New York Mets at Miami Marlins odds and lines, with MLB expert picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The New York Mets (50-48) and Miami Marlins (35-64) conclude their 4-game series Monday. First pitch from loanDepot park is set for 6:40 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze FanDuel Sportsbook’s lines around the Mets vs. Marlins odds and make our expert MLB picks and predictions for the best bets.

Season series: Marlins lead 5-4

The Mets offense had 8 hits on Sunday but could only manage 2 runs in a 4-2 loss Sunday. The Mets are now 24-22 on the road and 47-51 against the spread (ATS).

Miami won its 2nd game in this series as DH Jazz Chisholm Jr. hit a 3-run HR and Jake Burger had a solo shot. Miami has held New York to 7 total runs in this series.

Mets at Marlins projected starters

LHP David Peterson vs. RHP Yonny Chirinos

Peterson (4-0, 3.09 ERA) makes his 9th start. He has a 1.42 WHIP, 3.9 BB/9 and 6.6 K/9 in 43 2/3 IP.

  • Last start: Win, 6 IP, 0 ER, 4 H, 3 BB, 5 K in 7-0 victory against the Washington Nationals on July 11

Chirinos (0-1, 5.76 ERA) makes his 6th start. He has a 1.72 WHIP, 3.2 BB/9 and 7.6 K/9 in 25 IP.

  • Last start: Loss, 5 2/3 IP, 7 ER, 8 H, 4 BB, 1 K in 7-4 defeat at Cincinnati Reds on July 12

  • Moneyline (ML): Mets -172 (bet $172 to win $100) | Marlins +144 (bet $100 to win $144)

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3012″ ]

Mets at Marlins picks and predictions

Prediction

Mets 5, Marlins 2

Moneyline

PASS.

Surprisingly, the Marlins have played the Mets tough, but New York will even their series on Monday evening. As confident as I am, I’ll stay away from the Mets (-172) moneyline and look to the run line.

Run line/Against the spread

BET METS -1.5 (-106).

Peterson has been lights out since rejoining the Mets rotation in late May. He is 1-0 with a 2.16 ERA in July and he hasn’t allowed more than 2 ER in any of his last 5 starts. Peterson may have struggled a bit in his 1st start against the Marlins in 2024, but got the victory.

The Mets have hit better on the road than at Citi Field this season, batting 30 points higher.

Over/Under

BET UNDER 8.5 (-105).

The Under has hit in 3 of the last 4 matchups between these 2 teams.

The Under has also hit in Peterson’s last 2 starts. He has allowed just 13 runs in his last 38 2/3 IP (less than 2 runs per start) since the start of June.

The Marlins have been Under in 3 of their last 4 games. Chirinos is 2-2-1 against the Over in his last 5 starts.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The New York Mets (71-81) open a 4-game series against the Philadelphia Phillies (83-69) Thursday at Citizens Bank Park. First pitch is scheduled for 7:15 p.m. ET (FOX). Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Mets vs. Phillies odds and make our expert MLB picks and predictions for the best bets.

Season series: Mets lead 4-2

The Mets cruised to an 8-3 win over the Miami Marlins on Wednesday. N.Y. is 8 games back of the Chicago Cubs for the final Wild Card spot in the NL with only 10 games remaining on its schedule.

The Phillies beat the Atlanta Braves 6-5 in extra innings Wednesday as 2B Bryson Stott hit a 2-run double in the top of the 10th inning to win. Philadelphia has won 4 of its last 6 games and currently holds the top Wild Card Spot in the NL.

Mets at Phillies projected starters

LHP David Peterson vs. LHP Ranger Suarez

Peterson (3-8, 5.22 ERA) makes his 20th start. He has a 1.59 WHIP, 4.0 BB/9 and 10.2 K/9 through 100 IP.

  • Last start: No-decision, 5 2/3 IP, 2 ER, 6 H, 2 BB, 10 K in a 5-3 home loss to the Cincinnati Reds Friday.
  • 2023 road stats: 1-6, 7.35 ERA (49 IP, 40 ER) in 10 starts and 2 relief appearances.
  • Career vs. Phillies: 1-2, 4.83 ERA (31 2/3 IP, 17 ER) in 6 starts and 1 relief appearance.

Mets at Phillies picks and predictions

Prediction

Phillies 5, Mets 3

Moneyline

While the Phillies (-175) should come away with the win on Thursday, I’ll PASS on their moneyline at the current odds. If you can get Philadelphia’s moneyline at -160 odds or better, then I’d feel more comfortable playing it straight up.

Run line/Against the spread

PHILLIES -1.5 (+115) is the play in this game with Philadelphia being the much better team at this point in the season. In the first 6 meetings between these NL East teams this season, 5 of them were decided by at least 2 runs.

Peterson has dreadful road splits this season and the Phillies boast the 5th-best ISO (.225), the 8th-best wOBA (.356), and the 8th-best wRC+ (123) against left-handed pitching since the beginning of August.

Over/Under

UNDER 9 (-120) is the lean in this contest despite the Phillies swinging a hot bat right now. The Under is 5-1 in the first 6 meetings between N.Y. and Philadelphia this season.

The New York Mets (59-67) play the 2nd game of a 3-game series against the Atlanta Braves (80-44) on Tuesday at Truist Park. First pitch is scheduled for 7:20 p.m. ET (TBS). Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Mets vs. Braves odds and make our expert MLB picks and predictions for the best bets.

Season series: Braves lead 8-3

The Mets defeated the Braves 10-4 Monday as OF DJ Stewart, OF Rafael Ortega, and SS Francisco Lindor all homered. New York has won 5 of its last 6 contests, but it remains in 4th place in the NL East race.

In Monday’s lopsided loss to the Mets, DH Marcell Ozuna hit 2 solo HRs  for the Braves. Atlanta has lost 2 straight games, however, it is still 12 1/2 games ahead of the Philadelphia Phillies for 1st place in the NL East.

Mets at Braves projected starters

RHP Tylor Megill vs. RHP Bryce Elder

Megill (7-6, 5.53 ERA) makes his 19th start. He has a 1.70 WHIP, 4.6 BB/9 and 7.2 K/9 in 86 1/3 innings.

  • Last start: Win, 5 IP, 2 ER, 5 H, 4 BB, 5 K in an 8-3 home win against the Pittsburgh Pirates on Wednesday

Mets at Braves picks and predictions

Prediction

Braves 7, Mets 4

Moneyline

It’s hard to see the Braves losing 3 straight games, but I’ll PASS on wagering on the costly moneyline in this divisional showdown.

Run line/Against the spread

After getting blown out on Monday, I’ll take the BRAVES -1.5 (-125) at home on Tuesday with Elder on the mound. The Braves have defeated the Mets by at least 2 runs in 7 of their 8 wins against their division rivals this season.

Over/Under

OVER 10.5 (-115) is the lean in this matchup as Megill has been giving up runs often this season. Megill has surrendered at least 4 ER in 3 of his last 4 starts.

Since the start of August, the Braves boast the 3rd-best ISO (.217), the best wOBA (.372), and the 2nd-best wRC+ (132) against right-handed pitching. On top of that, the Over is 3-1 in the last 4 meetings this season.

The Mets had a 4-game win streak snapped with a 7-3 loss to the St. Louis Cardinals Sunday. New York is still 23 games behind Atlanta in the NL East despite that it went 6-4 in its last 10 contests, and remains 7 games back of an NL Wild Card.

Mets at Braves picks and predictions

Prediction

Braves 6, Mets 3

Moneyline

While the Braves should take care of business at home on Monday, just AVOID their moneyline in this game at over -200 odds.

Run line/Against the spread

BRAVES -1.5 (-115) is the play in this NL East bout as Atlanta boasts the best ISO (.240), the best wOBA (.379) and the 2nd-best wRC+ (137) against left-handed pitching since the start of July. The Braves have won by at least 2 runs in 7 of their 8 wins against the Mets this season.

Over/Under

UNDER 10 (-115) is the lean in this game despite the Braves being capable of hitting the Over themselves. However, the Over is 5-5 in the last 10 meetings overall and Winans should limit New York’s lineup for a 2nd time this season.

Mets at Cardinals picks and predictions

Prediction

Mets 7, Cardinals 4

Moneyline

I’ll back the METS (-125) on the road in this matchup. Quintana has been solid in his first 5 starts, but he hasn’t gotten run support in his last 2 outings — that should change against Wainwright.

Run line/Against the spread

METS -1.5 (+120) has fantastic value with Wainwright getting the nod for the Cardinals. S. Louis has lost by at least 4 runs in 6 of Wainwright’s last 7 starts.

Over/Under

LEAN OVER 10.5 (-115).

The Cardinals boast the 10th-best wOBA (.331) and wRC+ (111) against left-handed pitching this season. Meanwhile, Wainwright has given up 4 earned runs or more in 6 of his last 7 starts.

The Mets have also hit the Over in 4 of their last 6 road games.

Pirates at Mets picks and predictions

Prediction

Mets 6, Pirates 5

Moneyline

Even with New York’s woes this season, I’ll back the METS (-135) at home in Monday’s matchup. The Mets are 29-27 at home, while the Pirates are 24-33 on the road this season.

Run line/Against the spread

PIRATES +1.5 (-160) is the play for the run line unless the odds are worse than -160. The Pirates have won 3 of Priester’s 1st 5 starts, and Carrasco will likely keep this game close at home.

Over/Under

OVER 10.5 (-115) is how I’d bet on the run total. Priester and Carrasco have both given up at least 4 ER in 4 of their last 5 starts.

The Pirates are also 7-3 to the Over in their last 10 games overall.

Mets at Red Sox picks and predictions

Prediction

Red Sox 6, Mets 4

Moneyline

The RED SOX (-145) are my play in Sunday night’s matchup considering how both of these teams have performed recently. Boston has won 7 of the last 8 meetings overall with New York.

Run line/Against the spread

RED SOX -1.5 (+125) has decent value with the Mets rolling out Carrasco. Boston has defeated its opponent by multiple runs in 7 of its last 8 wins.

Play our free daily Pick’em Challenge and win! Play now!

Over/Under

OVER 9.5 (-115) is how I’d play the run total with Carrasco drawing another start for the Mets. Both of these teams are top 6 in ISO, top 7 in wOBA, and top 8 in wRC+ against right-handed pitching since the start of July (Pivetta will likely pitch the most innings for Boston on Sunday).

Mets at Red Sox picks and predictions

Prediction

Red Sox 5, Mets 4

Moneyline

With the Mets still failing show any consistency, I’ll back the RED SOX (-120) at home on Friday. The Mets are 22-29 on the road while the Red Sox are 26-22 at home. Also, Boston has won 17 of its last 28 games.

Run line/Against the spread

Crawford has pitched better in recent starts, but I’ll PASS on the run line in this game as the Mets should keep it close.

Over/Under

UNDER 9.5 (-110) is the lean in this game despite Senga’s walk issues and Crawford’s inconsistent pitching. The Mets are 7-2-1 to the Over in their last 10 games overall while the Red Sox have gone Under in 30 of their last 53 games overall.
