Arizona Diamondbacks vs New York Mets Predictions 4/17/2022

The New York Mets dropped to 6-3 after a 3-2 loss on Saturday. Both OFs Brandon Nimmo and Mark Canha stayed on the COVID-19 injured list in recent days, hurting the lineup.

On Saturday, the squad was limited to only 5 hits in order to score its two runs. Carlos Carrasco’s second consecutive strong start was ruined by bad hitting. Carrasco threw five innings, allowing only three hits and no runs. Carrasco only surrendered one run in 10.1 innings thrown in his two appearances this season, and he continues to look like a probable steal in the rear of the pitching rotation.

In the eighth inning, Starling Marte hit his second home run of the year to keep the Mets in the game.

Due to the injury to starting pitcher Taijuan Walker, David Peterson (0-0) will make his season debut. Earlier this week, he pitched four innings of scoreless relief for Philadelphia. As a rookie, Peterson was 2-6 in 15 starts last year.

In 66 innings pitched, he gave up 64 hits while striking out 69 and walking 29 batters. The Mets are hoping that outfielders Canha and Nimmo will be able to play in this game.

The NY Mets are 6-3 SU in their previous 9 matches.
The total went OVER in 4 of the NY Mets’ last 5 matches against Arizona.
The NY Mets are 5-2 SU in their last 7 matches at home.

Arizona Diamondbacks vs New York Mets. The MLB pick for this game is the New York Mets. In their past 12 trips to Queens, the Diamondbacks only won once.

Their lineup is one of the poorest in baseball, which should aid Peterson as he makes his first start of the season. He pitched well in his only outing out of the bullpen thus far and should be able to hold off Arizona’s lineup.

For the Mets, it will be a matter of reviving their bats. They now rank fourth in the majors in team batting average, and they are hoping that Canha’s comeback will help them improve the bottom half of their lineup. The New York Mets will win to a predicted score of 5-2.
