The New York Mets earned a sterling comeback win over the Los Angeles Angels in yesterday's series opener at Citi Field. The Mets took advantage of the Angels' shaky fielding to rally from three runs behind and produce a late 5-5 deadlock, broken by Juan Soto's RBI single in the bottom of the eighth inning.

New York will try to clinch a series win in this evening's middle match with Los Angeles, set to begin at 7:10 p.m. EST. 

The Mets' favorable odds to win show bookmakers' fondness for P Frankie Montas against visiting starter Kyle Hendricks, who has faded with seven runs allowed in his last nine innings of work.

New York Mets vs Los Angeles Angels Predictions and Picks 

Brett Baty was a bigger hero than Soto in the first Mets-Angels contest, slugging a two-run homer before stopping a key Angels rally with a nice play from third base, and scoring the winning run. Baty is exemplary of the Mets' scrappy success as a .237 batter who's made up for it with power and savvy. 

Montas has plenty of savvy at age 32. But as solid as the Mets hurler was in a July 12 win over KC, he was as shaky in two previous outings in which both the Yankees and the lowly Pirates' hitters flourished. "Montas has looked like two different pitchers," reports a skeptical Brian Germinaro of Rising Apple.

LA Angels games have gone over totals nearly 11 times in a row. Tonight's tilt will likely do the same.
