MLB Betting Trends
New York
The Mets are 7-19 in their last 26 road games. New York is 0-4 in the last four deGrom road starts.
Arizona
The Diamondbacks are 3-7 in their last 10 home games. Arizona is 5-1 in the last six Greinke home starts.
Prediction:
After being so automatic in 2018, deGrom hasn't quite found his footing this season although more times than not he is in fine form. But once again, the Mets are struggling to support him on a consistent basis and it isn't likely to get better tonight facing Greinke. Expect another fantastic outing by Greinke and just enough run support for the D-Backs to slip by deGrom and the Mets.
