Team Analysis

New York Mets

The New York Mets, despite their recent slump, have exhibited resilience in crunch situations. On the road, they’ve had their share of struggles, but have also secured key victories, primarily driven by the offensive prowess of Pete Alonso, Juan Soto, and Francisco Lindor. Their ability to step up in key moments could prove vital in this matchup.

However, the Mets’ recent form raises concerns. Their last 5 games have ended in defeat, with an average of just 3.0 runs per game. While their road record isn’t impressive, their commendable home record indicates their overall team potential. They’ll be aiming to bring their home form to the road as they look to turn things around.

• Batting Average: 0.239
• Total Runs Scored: 501
• Home Runs: 140
