Team Analysis
New York Mets
The Mets’ 3-2 mark across their last five games shows a team producing at an elite 10.0 runs per game pace, significantly above league average and a clear driver of confidence heading into Detroit. Their road record sits below .500, yet the offensive surge neutralizes that weakness, especially with Pete Alonso and Juan Soto capable of anchoring run production in any environment. This blend of power and consistency has created a betting edge that aligns with their recent dominance in interleague play.
Over their last 10 contests, New York has gone 6-4 while averaging 8.2 runs per game, further proof of sustained offensive rhythm. Francisco Lindor adds balance to the lineup, ensuring pressure is applied throughout the order rather than being top-heavy. With this level of scoring reliability, the Mets bring both form and confidence into a matchup where Detroit Tigers’ recent inconsistency is unlikely to keep pace.

Detroit Tigers
Detroit has stumbled with a 2-3 record in its last five games, producing just 4.8 runs per game and struggling to capitalize on home-field advantage. Riley Greene remains a consistent source of production, but the lack of collective support has left too many missed opportunities. Against an offense clicking as consistently as New York Mets’, this output profile signals vulnerability.
Looking deeper at their last 10 games, the Tigers are just 3-7 while averaging 4.5 runs per game, a stretch that reflects both offensive inconsistency and diminished confidence. Spencer Torkelson and Kerry Carpenter contribute power, yet the overall rhythm has not been enough to stabilize results at Comerica Park. With the Mets’ bats in rhythm, Detroit Tigers’ recent home form does not provide enough resistance to swing betting value in their favor.

MLB Predictions FAQ
How should I size my bets?
Use a consistent unit (about 1–2% of bankroll). Singles should be most of your volume. We like parlays—smart ones. Keep legs tight (2–3), cap risk to 0.25–0.5u, and pass when the price isn’t there.
What do moneyline, run line, and total mean?
Moneyline is who wins the game. Run line is a spread, usually ±1.5 runs. The total (over/under) is combined runs by both teams.
