Mets’ Hitting Power: An Edge Over the Reds
The Mets’ offensive strength could be a key factor in this match. With Kodai Senga on the mound, recording a very average xFIP number of 4.63 this season, the Mets are likely to put up some significant offensive numbers. Although Senga has a solid strikeout percentage, he’s less effective against left-handed bats.
With TJ Friedl and two left-handed batters likely in the Reds’ starting lineup, this plays into the Mets’ advantage, making them a strong favorite for the match.
Betting Insights:
Mets
- The New York Mets are 1-4 (.200) on the road as a favorite in their last five games in 2023
- The over hit in 3 of the New York Mets last 5 games on the road in 2023
Reds
- The Cincinnati Reds are 4-1 (.800) at home as an underdog in their last five games in 2023
- The over hit in 3 of the Cincinnati Reds last 5 games at home in 2023
Betting Considerations
With a possible bullpen day for the Reds and the Mets’ offensive prowess, the betting landscape seems to lean heavily toward New York. However, it’s vital to monitor any last-minute changes in the pitching lineup as we approach the first pitch. The uncertainty surrounding the Reds’ starter could significantly influence the betting dynamics of this MLB showdown.
