Mets vs. Orioles – Game Betting Preview & Prediction
Moneyline: NY Mets -154
Spread: NY Mets -1.5 (+100)
Total: 9.5
New York Mets Betting Preview
Juan Soto may not be heading to the All-Star Game, but he’s certainly playing like he belongs. Coming off a three-hit performance, including the game-winning RBI in extra innings, the star outfielder is clearly making a statement. The Mets rallied from four runs down in Tuesday’s opener, extending their recent hot streak to five wins in six games.
Their offense has picked up late in games, showing resilience and patience at the plate. Manager Carlos Mendoza has credited his lineup for timely adjustments and clutch hitting. With Brandon Nimmo also heating up, his RBI total even surpasses Soto, the Mets are showing depth and balance in their attack.
Lefty David Peterson (6-4, 3.18 ERA) takes the mound Wednesday. He’s coming off a strong outing against Milwaukee, but note: the Mets are 0-7 in Peterson’s road starts this season. However, he’s held the Orioles to a solid 3.24 ERA across four appearances and could be due for better road luck.
Key Trend: Mets are 5-1 in their last 6 and thrive in comeback situations. Keep an eye on late-inning fireworks.
Baltimore Orioles Betting Preview
Baltimore had a win slip through their fingers Tuesday night, blowing a four-run lead and missing out on a four-game win streak. Interim manager Tony Mansolino chalked it up to “just not our night,” but the Orioles have had several of those recently, games they should’ve won but didn’t.
Still, Jackson Holliday continues to impress. The young slugger added another home run Tuesday, showing off his natural opposite-field power and smooth approach at the plate.
On the hill, right-hander Tomoyuki Sugano (6-5, 4.44 ERA) will try to rebound from a rough outing where he gave up 10 hits and six earned runs to Texas. Long ball issues persist, he’s allowed seven homers in his last four starts, which could spell trouble against a Mets lineup that’s finding rhythm.
Key Concern: Baltimore’s bullpen has struggled to close, and Sugano’s recent form isn’t helping.
Betting Prediction
This looks like another tightly contested game, but the Mets’ late-game resilience and Baltimore’s bullpen woes tilt the edge toward New York. If Peterson keeps it steady, the Mets should capitalize on their momentum but Baltimore cover the runline.
Score Prediction: Mets 5, Orioles 4
Pick: Baltimore +1.5 (-120)
Total: Under 9.5 (-104)
