New York Mets vs Oakland Athletics Predictions 4/16/2023

The Oakland Athletics lost eight out of their previous nine games despite being rocked on Friday. As a result, they are currently in last place in the AL West.

The A’s are 2-5 at home this year, but they dropped four of their previous five home contests. In 5.1 innings of work, the Oakland bullpen was dreadful, surrendering 11 runs on 7 hits and 10 walks.

This is hardly shocking considering the 29th-ranked A’s bullpen’s 6.41 ERA and 1.62 WHIP. Although J.P. Sears struggled this season, going 0-1 with a 5.59 ERA in two starts, it is hoped that he can keep the bullpen off the field.

In his previous start, the left-hander allowed three runs over five innings.

In the defeat, Oakland hit 3 home runs. Shea Langeliers had a three-hit day with his third home run of the year. He has six RBI while hitting.250 with three home runs.

Despite this team’s difficulties, the offense did not disappoint. In four straight games, the group collaborated to score at least six runs, totaling 29 runs over that time. Oakland has an OPS of.693.

The total went OVER in 8 of Oakland’s last 10 matches.
The Oakland Athletics are 1-9 SU in their last 10 matches.
The total went OVER in 10 of Oakland’s last 12 matches against the NY Mets.

New York Mets vs Oakland Athletics. The MLB pick for this game is the New York Mets.

The Oakland pitching staff is in shambles, and the fact that they used five relievers on Friday and may need four or five more on Saturday means that they will be exhausted by the time Sunday’s game rolls around.

That should result in another day with at least ten runs for New York. Running should not be a problem for the Mets because the Athletics gave up at least eight runs in each of their last 11 matches.

That implies even if the offense scores seven runs, they will comfortably win by two runs and destroy this A’s staff.

That is unlikely to happen against Scherzer, who had his mojo restored in his previous start. The New York Mets will win to a predicted score of 8-4.
