Mets vs Tigers Predictions and Picks

New York is 30-37 on the road and 6-4 in its last 10 games. The Mets are tied for ninth in runs scored, ninth in batting average, fourth in on-base percentage, and fifth in slugging percentage. They are ranked 14th in ERA.

Juan Soto leads the team in home runs, and he had two hits, including a home run, in Game 2. The New York offense is coming together at the right time and outslugging an elite team with ease. On the mound for the Mets is Clay Holmes, who is 11-6, with a 3.60 ERA. He has seven quality starts this season and has given up two runs or fewer in five of his last six starts.

The Tigers are 44-27 at home and 3-7 in their last 10 games. The Tigers are ranked eighth in runs scored, 11th in batting average, 12th in on-base percentage, and 10th in slugging percentage. They are ranked 13th in ERA.

Riley Greene leads the team in batting average, home runs, and RBIs. In Game 2, his four-game hitting streak came to an end, as he recorded a walk and a run scored. The Tigers offense and pitching have been inconsistent lately, and they will look to get more balanced. Detroit will look to get the offense going early in the finale and try to salvage a game in this series. On the mound for Detroit is Casey Mize, who is 12-5, with a 3.95 ERA. He has seven quality starts this season and has been inconsistent in his last few starts.

Best Bet: Under

The Mets offense is racking up runs in this series, but Mize has thrown well in his previous three home starts and will aim for a stop job. The Tigers offense appears to be declining in this series, and Holmes has been pitching consistently well recently.
