The New York Mets have a mouthwatering matchup against a Los Angeles Angels squad that has dropped nine of its last 10 games.
My Mets vs. Angels predictions expect the road team to take advantage, getting a much-needed win after losing five of six.
Let’s dive deeper into my daily MLB picks for May 1.
Who will win Mets vs Angels today: Mets moneyline (-125)
The Los Angeles Angels are not set up well to break their six-game losing streak.
Walbert Urena has struggled through three starts, losing each of them while posting an alarming 2.21 WHIP.
He’s unlikely to give the Angels much length, and their bullpen carries the same flaws. The Angels relievers rank 29th in WHIP, ahead of only the Houston Astros.
Christian Scott is a serviceable arm and the New York Mets have the second ranked bullpen behind him in terms of FIP. If they can get out in front, their bullpen should protect the lead.
COVERS INTEL: The Mets rank fourth in hard hit rate against right-handed pitching over the last two weeks.
Mets vs Angels Over/Under pick: Under 9.0 (-110)
The Mets have struggled to generate offense, ranking tied for 29th in runs per game.
The recent return of Juan Soto helps but the lineup still has plenty of holes, limiting their ability to consistently capitalize on scoring opportunities.
While the Angels possess a good offense, the Mets’ bullpen has allowed flyballs at the seventh-lowest rate. Their ability to keep the ball out of the air should help neutralize an Angels attack that relies heavily on power and extra base hits.
These teams have played to the Over in only one of the past 10 head-to-head meetings, and this sets up well for another lower scoring affair.
