New York Mets Preview
The Mets enter Tuesday’s matchup riding the momentum of a dramatic 7-5 comeback victory in the series opener. Despite ace Kodai Senga’s rough outing, allowing four earned runs in just three innings, the bullpen delivered six innings of stellar one-run relief, anchored by Edwin Díaz’s All-Star closer performance.
Brett Baty sparked the rally with a two-run shot in the fourth inning, then scored the go-ahead run in the eighth. The win marked New York’s second straight after a frustrating four-game skid, keeping them within striking distance of the Philadelphia Phillies in the NL East.
Frankie Montas (2-1, 5.03 ERA) gets the ball for the Mets. He’s coming off a strong outing where he tossed five innings of one-run ball in a 3-1 win over Kansas City. Montas has historically pitched well against the Angels, carrying a 4-3 record with a 2.57 ERA in 17 career appearances.
With the Mets favored at -175 and playing at home, they’re expected to maintain the upper hand if Montas delivers a quality start.
Los Angeles Angels Preview
The Angels let a golden opportunity slip away Monday. Leading by four runs after six innings, their bullpen collapsed as Reid Detmers and Jose Fermin surrendered the lead. Starter Tyler Anderson, who tried to extend beyond the sixth inning for the first time since early May, couldn’t record an out in the seventh.
This loss was particularly painful as the Angels remain in a tight AL wild-card race. At 49-51, they’re still four games behind both the Red Sox and Mariners, missing a chance to close the gap with both teams losing on Monday.
Kyle Hendricks (5-6, 4.88 ERA) takes the mound, aiming to bounce back after allowing five runs in 3 2/3 innings in his last outing. Historically, Hendricks has been solid against New York, holding a 4-1 record with a 2.75 ERA over seven starts.
Prediction
With the Mets’ bullpen firing on all cylinders and Montas showing signs of form, New York looks poised to extend their winning streak. Expect the Angels to fight early, but the Mets’ home advantage and lineup depth should prevail.
