The New York Mets will try to avoid a three-game sweep against a last-place squad when they play host to the Arizona Diamondbacks in the Big Apple Thursday.
- The Mets are 3-11 SU in their last 14 games at home.
- The total has gone UNDER in six of the Diamondbacks' last eight games on the road against the Mets.
- The Diamondbacks are 5-12 SU in their last 17 games against teams with winning records.
Braden Shipley and Noah Syndergaard are the probable starters. Shipley (1-1, 4.15 ERA) is making his fourth career MLB start and will be looking for his third consecutive quality start. The 24-year-old has surrendered a total of two runs and nine hits in 12 innings over his last two appearances.
Syndergaard (9-6, 2.64) hasn’t gotten much run support from the Mets’ struggling offense and is winless in his last five outings as a result. Syndergaard is 0-3 over that span despite owning a respectable 3.49 ERA.
National League West opponents have absolutely dominated New York lately when it comes to cashing run line bets. The Mets are 1-13 ATS in their last 14 against the division.
