New York Mets vs. Arizona Diamondbacks The MLB pick for this game is the New York Mets. Henry has been pitching well with the Diamondbacks winning his past six outings coming into this game.
He’s up against Scherzer, who is accustomed to playing at Chase Field and has a history of dominating the Diamondbacks, which is an issue. After a few rocky starts, Scherzer improved, as seen by his recent strong play.
The Mets defeated the Giants twice over the weekend, but they still need to win more games if they want to be competitive in the National League postseason race.
Expect Scherzer to outpitch Henry while the expensive Mets lineup produces enough offense to secure a victory. The Mets will win, predicted at 7-3.
