A full 15-game MLB slate is scheduled for Tuesday, which will include a National League matchup between the New York Mets and the Cincinnati Reds. Let’s take a look at the match statistics and predictions for this game between the Mets and the Reds.

Cincinnati enters this game still hovering around .500 on the season. The Reds X in Game 1, and look to have a great chance to win Game 2 too, as they are scheduled to start Chase Burns. He has been the Reds' best starter by far this season, having posted a record of 6-1 and an ERA of 1.83. Burns has been even better when pitching on the road, and that trend should continue against an inconsistent Mets’ offense.

As for New York, their woeful start to the season continued in Game 1 of this series. New York lost 7-2 to the Reds on Monday, making it their fourth loss in a row. For Game 2, the Mets will be facing one of the league’s best starting pitchers, casting serious doubt on their chances to snap their losing streak.

Our New York Mets vs Cincinnati Reds Prediction

Cincinnati is the favorite in this matchup; however, they still look to be the best betting option. This is because of how strong their starter, Burns, has been, especially on the road. In fact, in four road starts this season, Burns has allowed just four earned runs over 24.2 innings.

New York, on the other hand, has now lost four games in a row. The Mets’ offense has been particularly bad during this stretch, averaging just 1.0 run per game. Simply put, with Burns on the mound for the Reds and with how the Mets have been playing over the last week, our New York Mets vs Cincinnati Reds prediction is: Cincinnati Reds ML.
