The New York Mets (52-61, 27-29 road, 58-51 O/U) are playing good baseball despite losing to Arizona, 5-4 on Friday night. They had just swept Colorado in three straight games at home, allowing just three runs combined. They take on Arizona (59-5, 33-24 home, 48-62 O/U), who is sliding out of contention in the National League West. Zach Wheeler (4-2, 3.73 ERA) goes for the Mets against a struggling Brandon McCarthy (2-5, 4.94 ERA). Wheeler has pitched well as of late, allowing three or less runs in his last six starts. McCarthy went just 4 1/3 innings in his last start against Boston in his last start, allowing just two runs, but he threw 97 pitches. He also went just 2 2/3 innings in his previous start against Texas, allowing six runs. McCarthy hasn’t been right since coming off the disabled list. Expect the Mets to steal this one as an underdog. The Mets visit Chase Field in Phoenix to take on the Diamondbacks at 8:10pmET on Saturday.
