Prediction published on 9/3/25, 9:21 AM  by Lou Aguila | Modified on 2/3/26 at 8:35 AM in MLB Picks

The New York Mets will go for a sweep against the Detroit Tigers in Wednesday’s series finale at Comerica Park.

The Mets, who covered the -1.5 handicap in the first two games of this series, are offering a +138 payout or a profit of $138 for every $100 bet if they pull off the feat again in Wednesday’s series finale.

Current Form:

The Mets have won 3 of their last 5 games, improving their record to 75-64 and keeping them within striking distance of the NL East leaders Philadelphia Phillies. Averaging a modest 4.9 runs per game this season, New York has experienced a recent surge in their offense. Over the last five games, New York has averaged 10.2 runs per contest on a .323 batting average. On the downside, pitching has gone worse for the Mets in this stretch, during which they have posted an atrocious 7.00 ERA. New York is sporting a 3.93 ERA in the season.

The Tigers are 1-4 in their last five games and have lost three of their last four games. Although they remain the top team in the AL Central with an 80-60 record, Detroit is running the risk of ending up in the wild card series if it continues to fall in the American League standings. Detroit has averaged 4.8 runs per game and pitched a 5.52 ERA in their last five games.

Pitching Matchup: Mets’ RHP Clay Holmes (11-6, 3.60 ERA) vs. Tigers RHP Casey Mize (12-5, 3.95 ERA).
