Mets vs Cardinals Predictions and Picks
New York is tied for fourth in runs, 11th in batting average, fourth in on-base percentage, and ninth in slugging percentage. Luis Robert Jr. leads the team in batting average, home runs, and RBI's. This will be the Mets' first road trip of the season and some of their star players like Francisco Lindor and Bo Bichette will look to get their bats going.
On the mound for the Mets is Clay Holmes. Last season, he was 12-8, with a 3.53 ERA. The wins and era were top 21 in the MLB rankings. Last season, he faced the Mets twice, and both outings were quality starts. The Mets won both games.
St. Louis is tied for fourth in runs, fourth in batting average, 13th in on-base percentage, and fifth in slugging percentage. Nolan Gorman leads the team in home runs and RBI's. The Cardinals will look to keep the bats going, but also tighten up that pitching as well because the staff did have some bad innings in every game of their last series.
On the mound for the Cardinals is Kyle Leahy. Last season, he was 4-2, with a 3.07 ERA. He's a relief pitcher for the team and will look to set the tone with a couple of good innings.
Best Bet: Mets money line
Last season, Holmes pitched well against the Cardinals and the Mets just had some solid games of timely hitting and good pitching. St. Louis is doing a bullpen game and the bats are there for them right now, but the pitching still needs to show up.
