New York Mets vs Tampa Bay Rays Prediction & Picks - MLB
by Bill Christy | in MLB Picks
The New York Mets had a nice 6-game winning streak in the middle of April. Since then, they have gone just 4-8. They began a 6-game road trip on Friday night in Tampa where they were handed a 10-8 loss by the Rays. Jose Quintana was atrocious for the Mets. He went just 2.2 innings while allowing 8 earned runs on 10 hits. Aaron Civale was nothing special for the Rays as he allowed 7 runs in just 4.2 innings of work. Ahmed Rosario of the Rays went 3-5 with 2 runs and 2 RBIs to lift his season average to .309. Despite Brett Baty’s 2 homers and 4 RBIs, the Mets fell short of their comeback bid. On Saturday, Christian Scott of the Mets, will make his career debut. The former 5th round pick in the 2021 draft is finally getting an opportunity at some big-league hitters. For the Rays, they will counter with Zack Littell who is just 1-2 on the season and is carrying a respectable 3.27 ERA. He wen 6 innings in his last start which ended in a loss to the White Sox. Both bullpens will be a bit depleted in this 2nd game as both previous starters were unable to get to the 5th inning.

Our New York Mets vs Tampa Bay Rays Prediction
The Rays are a way behind these Mets when it comes to cumulative batting averages but we believe the Rays are going to be able to give a rude awakening to Christian Scott and spoil his career debut. Littell has not be anything special but has had some solid outings to this point of the season. He should be able to keep this Mets lineup tamed and allow the Rays to get the victory.
Our prediction for Tampa Bay Rays vs New York Mets: Tampa Bay to win, -110 at DraftKings.
