It is the finish of a three-game series as the Arizona Diamondbacks visit the New York Mets. It's time to continue our MLB odds series with a Diamondbacks-Mets prediction and pick.
In game one of the series, the Mets got the scoring going in the second inning. Tryone Taylor doubles home a run, and then would score on a Jose Azocar single. Azocar would then score on a Francisco Lindor two-run home run. In the third inning, Starling Marte would hit a two-run home run before Taylor drove in his second run of the game to make it 7-0. Then, in the bottom of the fourth, Pete Alonso made it 8-0 on a solo home run. The Diamondbacks would attempt the comeback, though. They would score a run in the fifth and then score on an error in the eighth. They would then add a run in the ninth, but still fall 8-3.
The Diamondbacks and the Mets play game two of the series on Wednesday.
