The Mets are heating up, having won four of their past five games. Tonight, they’ll have Kodai Senga on the mound, who is emerging as the ace of their pitching staff. Known for his electric stuff, Senga has been tough on opposing lineups, and I expect him to handle the Pirates’ bats tonight.
[subheader sizedown=”true” center=”false” text=”Pete Alonso Over 1.5 Total Bases” logo1url=”https://images.actionnetwork.com/blog/2023/08/2023-mlb-logo-new-york-mets.png” link1=”https://www.actionnetwork.com/mlb/odds/new-york-mets” link1follow=“false”][/subheader]
Alonso is on track for a career year, hitting .318 with 9 home runs and 36 RBIs. He came through in the clutch last night with a game-winning sacrifice fly and with his power and consistency, I like his chances to clear this total.
[subheader sizedown=”true” center=”false” text=”Francisco Lindor to Score a Run” logo1url=”https://images.actionnetwork.com/blog/2023/08/2023-mlb-logo-new-york-mets.png” link1=”https://www.actionnetwork.com/mlb/odds/new-york-mets” link1follow=“false”][/subheader]
Lindor has been a constant scoring threat, crossing the plate five times in his past five games. With his ability to get on base and create scoring opportunities, I see him coming around to score tonight.
