The New York Mets’ struggles are well beyond an ordinary slump. That’s why FanDuel is now offering bettors the chance to wager on when they will win their next game.
After starting the year 7-4, the Mets haven’t registered a win since their victory over the Arizona Diamondbacks on April 7.
Key Takeaways
- The Mets are -180 favorites against the Twins on Tuesday, April 21.
- FanDuel dropped the Mets from +1300 preseason to +2200 current odds to win the World Series.
- No MLB team has a lower on-base percentage or OPS than the Mets.
The Mets began the year at +1300 in World Series odds at FanDuel, the fourth-shortest on the board.
It was mostly business as usual for the Mets early on. They won their first series against the Pittsburgh Pirates, sputtered against the St. Louis Cardinals, and then took three of four from the San Francisco Giants.
New York's momentum carried over to a four-game winning streak, capped off by their April 7 victory against the Diamondbacks; but unfortunately for them, they haven’t tasted a win since.
An impressive 11-game losing streak sent the Mets free-falling to last place in the National League East, 8.5 games behind the first-place Atlanta Braves—the largest deficit faced by any team in all of baseball.
They’re down to +2200 to win the championship and +340 to win the division, while the Braves are already a -155 favorite. That’s despite them opening behind the Mets at +2000 in odds to win the World Series.
The Big Apple representatives are going to win again, but the question is when it will happen.

Betting on the Mets’ losing streak
Mercifully for Mets fans, FanDuel expects the team to snag a win against the Minnesota Twins on Tuesday evening. Real-time moneyline odds have them as -180 favorites over their NL Central opponents, who are 11-11 and lost four straight games.
FanDuel has odds for the Mets’ losing streak to end for each of the next six games, and a “not before 4/28” option. Cashing that bet would require the Mets to tie a franchise record established in 1962 and lose 17 straight contests.

Breaking the ongoing skid will require the Mets to get their act together at the plate. They have the lowest on-base percentage in all of baseball, and also rank third-from-bottom in home runs and eighth-worst in batting average. Fittingly, they scored fewer runs than all other teams (3.3 per game).
Their pitching has also been the definition of average, ranking 16th in both combined ERA (4.06) and batting average allowed (.239).
Mets future outlook
The Mets’ miserable performances are antithetical to their expectations. Their $370 million payroll projection is the second-highest in all of baseball, only behind the Los Angeles Dodgers ($397 million) and more than 19% higher than the next-closest team, the New York Yankees ($310 million).
FanDuel believes the Mets will win 80-90 games this season. Their win total odds at the time of writing are:
- 80+ wins: -215
- 90+ wins: +310
- 100+ wins: +1800
- 110+ wins: +5000
