Our New York Mets vs Cincinnati Reds Prediction
The Mets are the heavy favorite in this game; however, they still look to be the best option. This is partly because of the advantage they have in starting pitching. In five home starts this season, McLean has allowed 12 runs (11 earned) over 30.0 innings. Lodolo, on the other hand, has made just one away start this season, allowing three earned runs over 5.2 innings.
New York may have lost three games in a row, but given the fact that McLean has been one of their most consistent starters this season, our New York Mets vs Cincinnati Reds prediction is: New York Mets ML.All tips are fully researched and given in good faith, but profits cannot be guaranteed.
