The New York Mets, with a record of 22-13, are heading to Phoenix to face the Arizona Diamondbacks (18-16) after a tough double-header loss against St. Louis. Griffin Canning will take the mound for the Mets, boasting a strong 4-1 record and a 2.61 ERA, while Ryne Nelson, who has a 1-0 record, will represent the D-backs. Arizona recently secured a thrilling win against Philadelphia, adding momentum to their upcoming matchup.

The latest odds show the Mets slightly favored at -115 on the moneyline, with a spread of -1.5. Despite the Mets’ recent performance against winning teams, they face a unique challenge coming off two losses and adjusting to road travel. An expert from Rotoworld suggests leaning towards the Diamondbacks, given their better overall record when Nelson doesn’t pitch. The Mets, however, have shown resilience, winning five straight with Canning on the hill.
