Mets’ Hot Start Continues

The New York Mets have been a pleasant surprise, posting a record of 12-5 and winning seven of 10 road games. They beat the Arizona Diamondbacks 6-2 on Sunday, a game in which Tylor Megill shone yet again.

Francisco Lindor is looking like the big-money player the Mets thought they were signing in 2021 and is a major part of why they are moving up in the MLB betting odds.

The team as a whole is also hitting the ball fairly well, and the pitching staff has done an excellent job holding opponents to manageable scoring outputs.

Free-agent signing and revered talent Max Scherzer will be on the bump for the Mets, looking to build on his 3-0 (2.50 ERA) start to the year.

Cardinals Hitting Stride

The St. Louis Cardinals have had a fruitful start to their new campaign. They have followed a pattern of win two, lose one on three straight occasions, although their last loss was to a 3-13 Cincinnati Reds team.

Nolan Arenado has been doing it all for the Cards, hitting .364 and smacking five home runs. Tommy Edman has also been excellent and a major contributor to the 9-5 start.

Miles Mikolas will get the starting nod for the Cardinals. He is 1-0 with a 1.76 ERA, recently pitching five innings without giving up a run against the Miami Marlins.

Mets vs Cardinals Betting Lines

Mets vs Cardinals Prediction

As much of a fairly even matchup as this would appear to be, given each team’s early-season form, it is almost impossible to pick against Scherzer. The 37-year-old veteran has one of the best arms baseball has seen and he can completely take over a game.

The Mets have been excellent on the road. If Lindor and the other members of the offense can keep their bats going, they will be set up nicely.

So, if you are looking for MLB picks, side with Scherzer and the red-hot Mets.
