Senga was on point from start to finish of his duty on the mound, and in the process joined an exclusive statistical club in the big leagues of Japanese-born pitchers with at least <a href="https://twitter.com/ESPNStatsInfo/status/1663725113051607044" rel="noopener">70 punchouts</a> in their first 10 starts, per ESPN Stats &amp; Info.</p><p><i>Kodai Senga was dealing against the Phillies, recording 9 strikeouts while giving up just 1 hit in 7 IP. His 70 K in his first 10 career games are the 3rd most by a Japanese-born pitcher in MLB history, trailing only Hideo Nomo (83 K in 1995) &amp; Masahiro Tanaka (79 K in 2014).</i></p><p>Kodai Senga also did not issue a single walk against the Phillies, which was a welcome sight for him and the Mets after he dished out eight walks in his previous two starts. In fact, Senga’s start against the Phillies was the first time he’s not allowed a walk in a game this season. The seven innings he logged in on the hill versus Philadelphia are also the most he’s had in a game in his first year in the big leagues.</p><p>So far in the 2023 MLB regular season, the 30-year-old Senga has a 5-3 record to go with a 3.44 ERA and 1.35 WHIP across 10 starts.</p><p>The Mets are certainly hoping that Kodai Senga will be able to sustain that form and become a norm for him going forward. They <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/mets-news-new-york-wins-kodai-senga-sweepstakes-with-5-year-75-million-deal" rel="noopener">signed</a> Senga to a five-year deal worth $75 million back in December.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

He has been one of the few players fans can depend on to produce on a regular basis. He is hitting .301 with four home runs and 21 RBIs to go along with solid defense. There were those who probably did a spit take when learning of Nimmo’s eight-year, $162 million contract signing with New York this past offseason, but he has been the glue holding this .500 club together.</p><p>Of course, he is just one man and will need help in order for the Mets to meet their<a href="https://clutchpoints.com/mets-news-new-york-sets-insane-299-8-million-mlb-record-previously-set-dodgers" rel="noopener"> hefty expectations</a>. A <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/mets-news-kodai-senga-looking-to-keep-up-with-legends-justin-verlander-max-scherzer" rel="noopener">sharp Kodai Senga</a> is a good place to start. The Japanese right-hander recovered nicely after his guy bailed him out and threw seven shutout innings versus Philadelphia, allowing just one hit and striking out nine. The team is desperate for that type of dominating pitching performance, ranking 25th in baseball with a 4.78 ERA heading into the day.</p><p>If players live up to their contracts and expectations like Nimmo and Senga did Tuesday night, the Mets will quickly right this shaky vessel and steer firmly into divisional contention.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

It’s time to continue our MLB odds <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/betting" rel="noopener">series</a> with a Phillies-Mets prediction, pick, and how-to-watch.</p><p>The Phillies just split the weekend series with the NL East-leading Atlanta Braves. With a record of 6-4 in their last ten games, the team is starting to rebound from their horrid stretch of five straight losses. The team has been streaky this year, along with that five-game losing streak, the Phillies also have a six-game losing streak, but also a five and a four-game winning streak. At 25-28 on the season, the Phillies are currently sitting in fourth in the division, but also in striking distance of a wild card spot.</p><p>The Mets have lost their last two games and lost two of three to the Rockies. In the final two games, they gave up 21 runs combined. The Mets are 6-4 in their last ten as well and sit at 27-27 on the year, which places them third in the NL East. Pitching woes were the concern for the weekend, as been consistent. While going 6-4 in their last ten games, they have given up 52 runs in the process.</p><p><b><i>Here are the Phillies-Mets <a href="https://sportsbook.fanduel.com/navigation/mlb" rel="noopener">MLB odds</a>, </i></b><b><i>courtesy of FanDuel.</i></b><b><i> </i></b></p><h2><b>MLB Odds: Phillies-Mets Odds</b></h2><p>Philadelphia Phillies: +1.5 (-170)</p><p>New York Mets: -1.5 (+150)</p><p>Over: 8.5 (-115)</p><p>Under: 8.5 (-105)</p><h2><b>How To Watch Phillies vs. Mets</b></h2><p>TV: TBS/NBCSP/SNY</p><p>Stream: TBS App/MLB.TV</p><p>Time: 7:10 PM ET/ 4:10 PM PT</p><p><i><b>*Watch MLB games LIVE with fuboTV <a href="https://www.fubo.tv/lp/mlb/?irad=377812&amp;irmp=492408" rel="noopener sponsored">(click for a free trial)*</a></b></i></p><h2><b>Why The Phillies Could Cover The Spread</b></h2><p>The Phillies need to score more runs based on their batting average. They are 11th in the majors this year in batting average while sitting 16th in on base percentage and 13th in slugging. Those are all areas that should produce good runs, but they sit tied for 22nd in runs scored this year. The major issue for that has been hitting with runners in scoring position. They are hitting just .231 with runners in scoring position this year, which is 27th in the majors. In particular, Kyle Schwarber, Bryce Harper, and Trea Turner <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/phillies-x-players-fans-are-already-fed-up-with-2023" rel="noopener">have been terrible</a> in those situations this year.</p><p>Turner is the best of the group, hitting .184 with eight runs batted in. He has been hitting better as of late though. In his last five games, he has batted in four runs and hit a home run. Behind him is Kyle Schwarber, who is hitting .159 with runners in scoring position. He is more likely to strike out than get a hit, striking out 16 times in RISP situations. Like Turner, he is picking up a little as well. He just hit his 13th home run of the season and has driven in three runs in the last five games. Finally, there is Bryce Harper. Harper is hitting just .105 with runners in scoring position. He has just two hits, both doubles, in 13 attempts this year. He is still recovering from injury though and has hit .306 since returning to the lineup. So his numbers may be due to a limited sample size more than anything.</p><p>The Phillies will send out Ranger Suarez for this game. His three starts so far this year have not been stellar. He has given up three or more runs in each of them while having a WHIP of 2.00 so far this year. He has only made it through five innings once this year and has been serving up easy-to-hit pitches the entire season.</p><h2><b>Why The Mets Could Cover The Spread</b></h2><p>The Met’s offense will be looking to take advantage of a weaker pitcher on the other side of them. Brandon Nimmo has been hot as of late. In the past week, he is hitting .417 with four extra-base hits and driving in two runs. Nimmo is having a great season, as he is hitting .306 on the year, which is good for tenth in the majors. While the on-base percentage is down slightly this month, he is still near .400 for the year and scored 16 times on the month.</p><p>While Nimmo is consistently hitting, Pete Alonso is continuing to hit home runs. He has twenty on the year now, which ranks him first in the majors. His 46 RBIs rank him third. While only hitting .227 on the month, Alonso has sent ten balls over the fence and grabbed 21 runs batted in. Last time out, he had a couple of near misses as well, hitting a long double and triple. While the contact numbers are down, Alonso can change the complexion of a game with any swing, and could easily do so again today.</p><p>The Mets will send Kodai Senga to the mount this evening. He is 4-3 with a 3.94 ERA on the season. He has been a mixed back of production this year. Senga has four starts on the year where has given up five or more hits, three or more runs, and pitched five or fewer innings. He has has four starts this year where he has pitched over five innings and given up one or fewer runs. Depending on which Senga comes out, it could either be a great game for the Mets, or another loss.</p><h2><b>Final Phillies-Mets Prediction &amp; Pick</b></h2><p>Neither team has been dominant this year. The Mets have been disappointing, and the Phillies have only shown short flashes of being a quality team. This one comes down to the two pitchers on the mound. Senga is a 50/50 shot to have a great outing, but even some of his poorer ones are not that bad. Suarez has been dreadful this year. With the Phillies struggling to score, take Senga and the Mets.</p><p><b>Final Phillies-Mets Prediction &amp; Pick: Mets -1.5 (+150) </b></p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

However, the Mets upcoming schedule has given <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/mets-jeff-mcneil-mlb-2023-shift-ban" rel="noopener">McNeil the time he needs</a> to heal up.</p><p>McNeil is <a href="https://twitter.com/timbhealey/status/1663265841012695041" rel="noopener">expecting to be in</a> the lineup for the Mets series opener against the Philadelphia Phillies on Tuesday, via Tim Healey of Newsday. <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/mets-news-jeff-mcneil-drops-mets-post-extension-truth-bomb-that-fans-will-absolutely-love" rel="noopener">McNeil was held out</a> of New York’s lineup on Sunday. With the Mets having Monday off, the two days away from the diamond seemed to have cured McNeil’s injury woes.</p><p>Even if his stint away was brief, any injury to McNeil would be a major loss for the Mets. Defensively, McNeil is one of the most versatile players on New York’s roster. Through 54 games this season, McNeil has spent time at second base, both corner outfield spots and even shortstop.</p><p>Alongside his work defensively, the infielder/outfielder is one of New York’s key hitters. McNeil is hitting .292 with two home runs, 16 RBI and three stolen bases this season. He is second on the team in batting average and on-base percentage (.370) and fourth in OPS (.734).</p><p>If the Mets want to turn their season around, Jeff McNeil will be a key cog. Luckily for New York, the former All-Star appears to have avoided serious injury. Playing against an NL East foe in the Phillies – even in May – will be a crucial series. Every game counts in a tight playoff race.</p><p>But when the Mets and Phillies do battle, McNeil will be joining his New York teammates on the diamond.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

He <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/giants-news-san-francisco-signs-gary-sanchez-minor-league-contract" rel="noopener">signed a deal</a> with the San Francisco Giants before being released and then inked a <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/mets-news-new-york-signs-gary-sanchez-yankees-minor-league-contract" rel="noopener">contract with the New York Mets</a>. However, Sanchez played just three games before being released again. He went just 1-6 with an RBI in his brief stint.</p><p>However, Sanchez received a <a href="https://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/mlb/columnist/bob-nightengale/2023/05/28/mlb-memorial-day-what-we-know-rays/70264449007/" rel="noopener">stunning amount</a> of cash for just a cup of coffee with the Mets, per Bob Nightengale of USA Today.</p><p>‘Catcher Gary Sanchez’s stay with the Mets lasted all of three games.

Sanchez didn’t make an appearance with the Giants in the big leagues, but in 2022 he was at least somewhat serviceable with the Minnesota Twins.</p><p>With the Twins, Sanchez hit just .205 but slugged 16 home runs with 61 RBI, although his All-Star days are far over. Still, Gary Sanchez is finding a way to cash in on $1.5 million during his brief time with the Mets, and getting paid $350,000 for days worth of work is quite the move.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

New York has not been able to get anything going at the plate. As a team, the Mets are hitting below .240 against the Rockies this year. Brandon Nimmo has seven hits and four of them have been for extra bases. Francisco Alvarez is 5-12 in four games against Colorado with a home run, as well. However, Pete Alonso and Starling Marte have both been struggling against the Rockies this season. They are a combined 4-33 with a home run and four RBI. On the mound, New York has not been getting it done. They have an ERA above 6.00 against Colorado this season. In 44 innings pitched, the Mets have allowed 50 hits, 30 earned runs and walked 21 batters.</p><p>The Rockies have been great against the Mets this season. They have a batting average of .289 and have more hits than the Mets in both games this series. Randal Grichuk, Ezequiel Tovar and Alan Trejo are a combined 18-47 with seven doubles, two home runs and six RBI. Those three have been very good against New York this season, but Charlie Blackmon and Kris Bryant have not. Blackmon and Bryant are a combined 5-31 with two home runs. On the mound, Colorado owns a 4.09 ERA against the Mets this season. They have 7.4 K/9 and have walked 17 in 44 innings.</p><p>The starting pitchers for Sunday’s rubber match are Tylor Megill and Austin Gomber.</p><p><b><i>Here are the Mets-Rockies <a href="https://sportsbook.fanduel.com/navigation/mlb" rel="noopener">MLB odds</a>, </i></b><b><i>courtesy of FanDuel.</i></b><b><i> </i></b></p><h2><b>MLB Odds: Mets-Rockies Odds</b></h2><p>New York Mets: -1.5 (+105)</p><p>Colorado Rockies: +1.5 (-126)</p><p>Over: 12.5 (-115)</p><p>Under: 12.5 (-105)</p><h2><b>How To Watch Mets vs. Rockies</b></h2><p>TV: SportsNet New York, AT&amp;T SportsNet Rocky Mountain</p><p>Stream: MLB TV Subscription</p><p>Time: 3:10 PM ET/12:10 PM PT</p><p><i><b>*Watch MLB games LIVE with fuboTV <a href="https://www.fubo.tv/lp/mlb/?irad=377812&amp;irmp=492408" rel="noopener sponsored">(click for a free trial)*</a></b></i></p><h2><b>Why The Mets Could Cover The Spread</b></h2><p>Austin Gomber has not been pitching well for the Rockies this season. He has an ERA above 6.00 and just 31 strikeouts in 50 innings pitched. He is a hittable pitcher. Gomber is in the bottom 10th percentile in xBA, xSLG, strikeout percentage, chase rate and whiff percentage. This means he does not have the stuff to miss bats. When teams do hit the ball off him, they hit it hard and in the gap or over the fence (hence his 11 home runs allowed this season). The Mets should be able to crush the ball on Sunday afternoon. As long as New York can lock in at the plate against Gomber, they will cover the spread.</p><h2><b>Why The Rockies Could Cover The Spread</b></h2><p>The Rockies are facing a pitcher in a similar situation as Gomber. Tylor Megill ranks poorly in xBA, xSLG, strikeout percentage, walk percentage and chase rate. In a place like Coors Field, there is not much room for error. If Megill leaves some pitches over the plate, the Rockies will crush the ball. Colorado hits 23 points better against right-handed pitchers, so they will see the ball well against Megill. Colorado will need to find the gaps and push across six or seven runs to win this game and they have a great matchup to do so.</p><h2><b>Final Mets-Rockies Prediction &amp; Pick</b></h2><p>If there is one aspect of this game that is clear, it is that there will be a good amount of runs scored. Both pitchers are definitely capable of shutting down the opponent, but I do not see that happening in this one. The winner of this game will come down to who can make the most noise at the plate. Expect that team to be the Mets as they cover the spread and cruise to a series win.</p><p><b>Final Mets-Rockies Prediction &amp; Pick: Mets -1.5 (+105), Over 12.5 (-115)</b></p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Our MLB odds <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/betting" rel="noopener">series has our </a> Mets Rockies prediction and pick. Find out how to watch Mets Rockies.</p><p>The New York Mets have gotten off to a slow start this season, but it’s easy to see why. Whereas other teams such as the St. Louis Cardinals, Cleveland Guardians, and San Diego Padres have no good explanation for why they are several games under the .500 mark, the Mets hovering near break-even has a very simple cause: They haven’t been healthy, especially their elite starting pitchers. Only recently did Max Scherzer and Justin Verlander pitch on consecutive days. They actually pitched on the same day — in two halves of a split day-night doubleheader — earlier this month.</p><p>This is how the Mets can get back into the thick of the National League wild card chase and improve their overall position in the National League East. Stacking Scherzer and Verlander every few days will enable the Mets to win back-to-back games on a lot of occasions. They can rest their bullpen. They can build momentum. They can win a lot of games in which their offense doesn’t max out. At least, that’s the concept and plan. We’ll see if the Mets can win a Verlander game on Saturday in Denver after Scherzer won on Friday night.</p><p><b><i>Here are the Mets-Rockies <a href="https://sportsbook.fanduel.com/navigation/mlb" rel="noopener">MLB odds</a>, </i></b><b><i>courtesy of FanDuel.</i></b><b><i> </i></b></p><h2><b>MLB Odds: Mets-Rockies Odds</b></h2><p>New York Mets: -1.5 (-128)</p><p>Colorado Rockies: +1.5 (+106)</p><p>Over: 11 (-115)</p><p>Under: 11 (-105)</p><h2><b>How To Watch Mets vs. Rockies</b></h2><p>TV: SNY (Mets) / AT&amp;T SportsNet Rocky Mountain (Rockies) / MLB Extra Innings</p><p>Stream: MLB.tv</p><p>Time: 9:10 p.m. ET/6:10 p.m. PT</p><p><i><b>*Watch Mets-Rockies LIVE on fuboTV <a href="https://www.fubo.tv/lp/mlb/?irad=377812&amp;irmp=492408" rel="noopener sponsored">(click for a free trial)*</a></b></i></p><h2><b>Why The Mets Could Cover The Spread</b></h2><p>The Mets have Justin Verlander on the mound. If he’s pitching, he’s obviously healthy enough to do so. One doesn’t have to say a whole lot about Justin Verlander, a World Series champion and Cy Young Award winner who has remained a top-tier pitcher over a decade and a half into his career. Like other old fireballers from the past, Verlander has learned how to maintain velocity and effectiveness, making key adjustments and arriving at the important realization that a fastball pitcher doesn’t have to hit maximum velocity all the time. What matters is being able to throw heat — well-located — in specific situations when something special is needed. Most of the time, location and pitch mixture will be enough. Verlander still has the quality and the savvy to thrive as a big-league pitcher. He should be able to contain a Colorado batting order which has largely struggled this season.</p><h2><b>Why The Rockies Could Cover The Spread</b></h2><p>The Rockies’ biggest advantage in this game is that the Mets’ offense has struggled a lot in 2023. It often seems that if Pete Alonso isn’t mashing, the Mets aren’t producing. The New York offense runs through a few players who, if they’re not on top of their games, limit this team at the plate. The batting order has too many holes to withstand a day when Alonso or Francisco Lindor are not hitting well. The frailty of the Mets’ offense gives the Rockies a very good chance to win here, even though Verlander is on the mound for New York.</p><h2><b>Final Mets-Rockies Prediction &amp; Pick</b></h2><p>Verlander against the Rockies is a mismatch, and it’s that simple.</p><p><b>Final Mets-Rockies Prediction &amp; Pick: Mets -1.5</b></p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Join us for our MLB odds <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/betting" rel="noopener">series</a> where our Mets-Rockies prediction and pick will be revealed.</p><p>Coming into this one slightly underachieving so far this season, the Mets are getting restless in regards of putting up more victories in the win column. Luckily for them, it happened to be New York that absolutely pounded the Chicago Cubs in blowout fashion at Wrigley Field by a score of 10-1. Clearly, it’s these types of performances that New York needs more of. Getting the start not he mound for the Mets for this one will be the future hall-of-famer in Max Scherzer. So far, Scherzer is 3-2 with a 4.01 ERA in seven total starts.</p><p>As for the Colorado Rockies, for as bland of a team as they are, they were still able to baffle the fish by taking three of four games from the Miami Marlins in Denver. Still, the Rockies sit with a record of 22-29 and are in need of a long stretch of winning to get back into contention within the NL West. On the mound for Colorado will be Connor Seabold who is 1-1 with a 5.97 ERA in his four starts.</p><p><b><i>Here are the Mets-Rockies <a href="https://sportsbook.fanduel.com/navigation/mlb" rel="noopener">MLB odds</a>, </i></b><b><i>courtesy of FanDuel.</i></b><b><i> </i></b></p><h2><b>MLB Odds: Mets-Rockies Odds</b></h2><p>New York Mets: -1.5 (-144)</p><p>Colorado Rockies: +1.5 (+120)</p><p>Over: 11.5 (-108)</p><p>Under: 11.5 (-112)</p><h2><b>How To Watch Mets vs. Rockies</b></h2><p>TV: AT&amp;T SportsNet Rocky Mountain</p><p>Stream: MLB.TV</p><p>Time: 8:40 ET/6:40PT</p><p><i><b>*Watch MLB games LIVE with fuboTV <a href="https://www.fubo.tv/lp/mlb/?irad=377812&amp;irmp=492408" rel="noopener sponsored">(click for a free trial)*</a></b></i></p><h2><b>Why The Mets Could Cover The Spread</b></h2><p>Almost certainly, there always seems to be bad weather whenever the New York Mets make the trek to the Mile High City. In fact, there have been three separate occasions when games have been canceled since 2013 and the Mets are hoping that that won’t be the case yet again.</p><p>Of course, the Mets already have a tremendous head start to cover the spread with someone like Max Scherzer getting the start, but let’s not forget how lethal this New York lineup can be when it is hitting on all cylinders. When taking a closer look at the Mets’ raw hitting numbers, they happen to rank within the middle of the pack in both numbers, but there is no doubt that they can inflict some major damage.</p><p>While the Rockies will certainly have to pitch carefully to first-baseman Pete Alonso and his MLB-leading 19 home runs on the season, guys like Jeff McNeil act as the glue of this lineup with his ability to string together hits and create havoc on the base paths. Without a doubt, as expected, Alonso will be the biggest name to watch out for on Friday given the fact that he is playing in a hitter-friendly ballpark and that he is also hit homers in six of his past nine games overall.</p><h2><b>Why The Rockies Could Cover The Spread</b></h2><p>While it certainly has been a rollercoaster of a season up to this point for the Colorado Rockies, one major aspect of the game that they have going for themselves is the fact that their offense usually never fails to disappoint. Whether it is the fact that they play half their games in the thin air of the Rocky Mountains or that they just possess an above-average offense that can get the job done, don’t be overly shocked if the Rockies end up putting up some runs on the scoreboard before it is all said and done.</p><p>With that being said, no other Rockies hitter has had as much success at the plate than catcher Elias Diaz. Believe it or not, Diaz has slashed the second-highest batting average at .340 in all of the majors and is also leading the way in RBIs with 29 of them. Without a doubt, no one saw this type of season coming from Diaz, and if he continues his red-hot start with the bat in his hands, then he could be a thorn in New York’s side all night long. Not to mention, Scherzer has often struggles against the Rockies for whatever reason as he has gone 2-5 with a 4.54 career ERA in 12 career starts versus Colorado.</p><p>However, most importantly, the outcome of Rockies games tends to come down to whether or not they can get the necessary pitching from the mound. At first glance, the major reason for Colorado’s struggles this season has been a lack of consistency from the mound. Alas, it will be extremely vital for Connor Seabold to put his best foot forward and keep the Mets’ lineup on their toes throughout this one to have a chance at covering the spread.</p><h2><b>Final Mets-Rockies Prediction &amp; Pick</b></h2><p>Although all signs may be pointing to New York finding a way to take care of business in this one, I think this NL showdown comes down to the wire in a close contest.</p><p><b>Final Mets-Rockies Prediction &amp; Pick: Rockies +1.5 (+120)</b></p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Actually, it is quite historic.</p><p>He blasted his MLB-leading 19th home run of the year in a 10-1 trouncing of the Chicago Cubs. He <a href="https://twitter.com/ESPNStatsInfo/status/1661911857244807169" rel="noopener">tied the franchise record</a> for most homers before the month of June, which was previously held by him. That’s right, he is chasing himself.</p><p>Alonso set the bar during an absurd 2019 campaign that saw him belt the most long balls ever by a rookie (53). This year, he seems intent on surpassing his personal best. Frankly, the Mets may depend on it, as they were batting just .241 before Thursday’s free-for-all. Alonso has posted solid batting averages for a modern slugger, but is currently at .239. If he can get that up about 10 points while maintaining the same power, the 28-year-old first baseman could contend for a National League MVP crown.</p><p>Most important, though, is the impact his production has on the team. New York (26-25) is only five-and-a-half games behind the Atlanta Braves for first place in the NL East, despite not playing near its full potential. The mix of youth and veterans could be vital down the stretch.</p><p>Pete Alonso will be the linchpin, though, in a lineup bereft of much power. The Polar Bear’s <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/mets-news-pete-alonso-record-books-home-run" rel="noopener">historic start</a> has not been reflected in the standings yet, but if he continues to let it fly, it should only be a matter of time before the Mets fully reap the rewards.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Each time he is dismissed from a club, it becomes more difficult to find a new home.</p><p>Yet, 154 career home runs since 2016 could make him appealing to another organization. A big bat in this era of baseball can revive any flatlining career.</p><p>Just not in New York.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

The righty had his best season in years last season – going 15-7 while recording a 3.97 ERA and 1.33 WHIP. Thus far, that has not translated to this season. After compiling an 8.56 ERA through three starts, Carrasco missed over a month with an elbow injury. Things didn’t look much better upon his return, however, as he gave up five runs to the Guardians’ putrid offense in his first start back from the IL.</p><p>The 36-year-old certainly has better days ahead of him but he’s now allowed at least five runs in three of his four starts this season despite favorable matchups across the board. Still, Carrasco excelled against the Cubs last season – throwing six shutout innings and picking up a win. Consequently, he could be due for a bounce-back tonight despite an improved Chicago lineup.</p><p>Lackluster offense has been the story of the season for New York. Despite their sky-high payroll and star-studded lineup, the Mets rank just 21st in runs per game. That said, they have been victim to bad luck as their .276 BABOP ranks 26th in the league. Despite their recent struggles, first baseman Pete Alonso continues to mash. Alonso crushed his league-leading 18th homer in the series opener before picking up one of New York’s only four hits last night.</p><h2><b>Why The Cubs Could Cover The Spread</b></h2><p><i><b>Last 10: 3-7 (Third in the NL Central)</b></i></p><p><i><b>Run Line Record: 27-21 (56%)</b></i></p><p><i><b>Over Record: 25-22-1 (53%)</b></i></p><p>The Cubs bounced back in a huge way this week with two wins to open the series against the Mets. Tonight they get a chance to secure just their second sweep of the season as they continue to hang around in a weak NL Central. They’ve had their way with the New York pitching staff this far – picking up 16 hits and drawing eight walks in the first two games of the series. That said, Chicago will need to continue their strong play at the plate and get a stellar outing out of Kyle Hendricks if they want to cover as home underdogs tonight.</p><p>Righty Kyle Hendricks (0-0) makes his season debut for the Cubs tonight. Chicago’s long-time ace hasn’t pitched in the majors since last July due to a shoulder injury. A star on their 2016 World Series team, Hendricks is a fan favorite but it remains to be seen how much left he has in the tank. After recording an ERA below 3.5 in six of his first seven seasons, Hendricks dropped back-to-back plus-4.75 ERAs in 2021 and 2022. Last year was particularly worrisome as Hendricks output career-worst in ERA and K/BB. Additionally, Hendricks has been rocked at home the past two seasons with a significantly higher ERA and WHIP at Wrigley Field.</p><p>While it remains to be seen what Hendricks can give the Cubs tonight, at the very least their offense should continue to provide ample run support. For the season, the Cubs rank 11th in runs per game, second in on-base percentage, and 11th in home run rate. Although Christopher Morel’s home run streak ended at five games last night, the shining prospect extended his hit streak to 13 games. Additionally, Chicago got a huge boost recently with the return of Nico Hoerner – without whom they went just 2-7.</p><h2><b>Final Mets-Cubs Prediction &amp; Pick</b></h2><p>While neither pitcher gives me much confidence in backing their side, I’ll take the runs with the home underdogs and bank on the Cubs securing a series sweep tonight.</p><p><b>Final Mets-Cubs Prediction &amp; Pick: Chicago Cubs +1.5 (-176)</b></p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>
