Kelly slugs home run vs. Mets on Monday
Carson Kelly slugged a three-run homer on Monday, lifting the Tigers to a 5-0 win over the Mets in a 10-inning marathon. Kelly put the cherry on top of Detroit’s five-run outburst in the 10th inning, after both teams completed nine scoreless innings to open the contest, with a three-run shot off Mets reliever Michael Tonkin. It was his first round-tripper of the season.
Senga plays catch on back-to-back days
Kodai Senga (shoulder) played catch on back-to-back days this week. Mets manager Carlos Mendoza said Tuesday that Senga is “slowly moving in the right direction.” He’s yet to progress to throwing off a bullpen mound yet and isn’t expected to be ready to make his season debut until at least mid-to-late May. The 31-year-old righty has been on the shelf since the early stages of spring training recovering from a right shoulder strain.

Tigers vs. Mets MLB BETTING PREDICTION
Take Detroit. Casey Mize will toe the rubber for the Tigers in the first game of today’s double-header and he’s coming off a hell of a spring. He finished with a 3-1 record and a 2.21 ERA to go along with a 20/9 strikeout-to-walk ratio in 20 1/3 innings in exhibition play. While spring training numbers can be misleading, Mize’s stock is clearly up. At 0-4 to start the new season, we cannot say the same for the Mets.
