New York Mets vs. San Diego Padres betting picks and predictions

New York Mets to Win (-120)

While New York has struggled this season - they remain well under .500 - they are scheduled to start Nolan McLean for Game 2 of this series and he can lead the Knicks to glory.

McLean enters this game with a record of 3-4 and has an ERA of 4.21. However, he has been a little more consistent on the road, posting an ERA of 3.86 across five starts in 28.0 innings.

San Diego, on the other hand, were once just a few games behind the Los Angeles Dodgers in the NL West division, but have recently been struggling.

For Game 2, the Padres will turn to Griffin Canning, who has a record of 0-4 and an ERA of 7.16. He has been inconsistent at home as well, posting an ERA of 5.57 over four starts.

The biggest difference between these two teams is their offensive production, or lack thereof. The Mets are by no means a consistent offense, as they rank 23rd in runs per game.

However, the Padres are far worse, ranking dead last in the same category. With that, and the fact that McLean has been much more serviceable compared to Canning, backing the New York Mets to win (-120) is the best pick.

Juan Soto to Hit a Home Run (+350)

Our favorite player prop for this game will be for Juan Soto, from the New York Mets, to hit a home run. 

Soto has hit a total of 13 home runs this season, which leads the Mets. He has homered six times on the road and 10 times against right-handed pitchers, which is what he will be facing on Saturday with Canning on the mound.

Further, Canning has allowed six home runs this season, four of which have come in Petco Park. Therefore, considering Canning’s struggles this season, especially at home, backing Soto to hit a home run will be our play.
