Cleveland Guardians vs New York Mets Predictions 5/20/2023

On Saturday, Max Scherzer will start. In his previous game, Scherzer excelled, holding his former Nationals team to just one run over five innings, earning him the victory.

The seasoned ace held his opponent to 0 or 1 run in three of his previous four appearances. He is competent in all but two of his outings.

Although Scherzer’s statistics aren’t what most people are used to seeing—he has a 4.88 ERA, 1.30 WHIP, and a 3-2 record in 27.2 innings—he is 9-5 with a 4.25 ERA in 125 career innings against the Guardians.

The New York Mets rank third in the NL East.

This year, New York needs help getting into a rhythm. They only win one monthly series, and their .500 record remains intact.

After losing series to the Tigers, Rockies, and Reds this month, they bounced back this week by winning two of three games at home against the Rays and scoring 16 runs.

New York ranks 23rd in the league with a 4.22 run average for the season. The pitching staff was a letdown, ranking 25th with a team ERA of 4.72.

The New York pitching staff surrendered 207 runs on the campaign and come in with a team ERA of 4.72 (204 earned runs surrendered).

Their K/BB ratio is 8.70 (378 strikeouts against 169 bases on balls). They come in at 16th in the league as a pitching staff in total hits given up with 361.

The total went OVER in 5 of the NY Mets’ last six matches.
The NY Mets are 4-2 SU in their previous six games.
The total went OVER in 13 of the NY Mets’ last 18 games against Cleveland.

Cleveland Guardians vs New York Mets. The MLB pick for this game is the Cleveland Guardians. This year, the New York Mets struggled to live up to their potential, as they only won one series in the entire month.

Tanner Bibee, an intriguing rookie, is starting for the Cleveland Guardians. In three of his four games this season, he held the opposition to two runs or fewer.

The matches include games against formidable Yankees and Angels lineups. Max Scherzer, the Mets’ starter, was not at his best this year.

The veteran ace lost six runs against the Tigers in his previous start, and his statistics could be better. In his six starts, he dropped six home runs.

Scherzer’s 5.65 FIP, which is higher than his 4.88 ERA, indicates that his ERA is more than justified. The Cleveland Guardians will win to a predicted score of 6-3.
