The New York Mets showed off how they could win the NL East race in yesterday's tough 3-2 win over Cincinnati. Due to a further rash of injuries, the Mets might have to rely on their pitching staff even more versus the Los Angeles Angels in a three-game series at Citi Field set to begin tonight at 7:10 p.m. EST.
New York infielder Pete Alonso's hand contusion could relegate the Mets' slugger to the dugout in the Angels opener. Alonso kept the Mets afloat with numerous RBIs in New York's most recent interleague series against the Orioles and Royals. His injury adds to a crisis of bruised bodies in the Mets lineup.
Vegas still favors the New York Mets to win, with New York having won over half of 2025's home games. The Mets may benefit from a pitching mismatch of Kodai Senga against the struggling Tyler Anderson.

New York Mets vs Los Angeles Angels Predictions and Picks
Pregame odds reveal that New York is expected to win the opener by more than one run, while leaving the door open to an LA upset. The angle may be as simple as whether Pete Alonso's hand already feels 100%. Or, it could be a question of whether Anderson regains his form from earlier this summer.
LA's starter has had warm stints, such as holding Boston and Atlanta to a single run combined prior to the All-Star break. Anderson still doesn't compare to Senga, who is on a five-game win streak that includes no runs allowed in his last two victories. Senga returned earlier than anticipated from a rehab assignment on July 11th, which Olivia Bennett of Motocyclismo says brings "a sense of stability" back to the Mets' roster.
Alonso's injury made him a spot player by the end of the Reds meeting, but he's told reporters he'll be back in tonight's starting lineup. That's enough to make the Mets a solid pick to cover their run line.
