Athletics vs New York Mets Prediction & Picks - MLB

Prediction published on 4/12/25, 3:03 PM  by Carlos Zabala | Modified on 2/16/26 at 4:30 PM in MLB Picks

The Athletics' temporary stadium has proven to be a hitter's park, where the Cubs and Padres have already scored more than 16 runs in three games, and now it's the Mets' turn, who won the series opener against the A's 7-6.

Pete Alonso had a great night, going 3-for-3 with an RBI double, a sacrifice fly, and a home run to Jose Leclerc. A key out came off Soto's glove when the Mets had a 6-4 lead, and pitcher Garrett dominated the A's hot hitter Soderstrom. Edwin Díaz is having some control issues, and although he recorded his third shutout with the Mets this season, he issued two walks and allowed two earned runs to post a 7.94 ERA to start 2025.

The pitching duel for Game 2 will be between Peterson, who is 1-0 with a 2.53 ERA for the Mets, and JT Ginn, for the A's, who was called up to the majors again after dominant performances in the minor leagues.
