Mets vs. Padres Pick
Moneyline Pick for Mets vs. Padres
- Mets -105 (4 units)
The Mets have played better of late after a slow start to the year. Meanwhile, the Padres entered Saturday with six straight losses and 10 of their last 11. San Diego was blanked three times in their last 10 games and scored three runs or fewer in four other contests. Manaea turned in a solid outing in his last appearance and with the Padres struggling to hit with any kind of success, it’s tough to back them in this contest. The Mets have momentum on their side right now and that should carry them to a victory given San Diego’s recent struggles.
