Angels vs Mets Prediction
The current betting odds have the Mets listed as a favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Mets have looked really good in their games this season with their 56-44 record overall which has them right near the top of the NL East. They have looked great in their own ballpark too with their 34-16 home record this season. Meanwhile, the Angels haven't looked good in their games this season with their 49-50 record overall which has them right near the bottom of the AL West. They haven't been a good road team either with their 25-27 road record this season. The Angels just won their last series against the Phillies and they have been the slightly hotter team lately as they are 6-4 in their last 10 games while the Mets are only 4-6, but the Mets do have the better pitching matchup here and the better offense too. The Mets are going with Montas in this one and he hasn't looked great this year, but he has also had 4 starts this season as he is coming back from an injury. He wasn't great right away, but he has looked a lot better lately as he only gave up 1 earned run in his last start and his team has won 2 games in a row now with him starting. The Angels are going with Anderson in this one and he hasn't looked great this season. He is 5-6 with a 4.88 ERA and has been giving up quite a few runs lately. His team has won 2 of their last 3 games with him starting, but that hasn't been a common theme for him this year and he just gave up another 4 earned runs in his last start too. The best way to place a bet here is on the Mets to win this game.

Notable Quotes
“It’s very encouraging. That's a really good team. That's one of the better teams we've faced, and it's a tough lineup. Obviously, they're going to be in it right to the end. So I think it speaks volumes about what the guys do and how they step up. We beat the Sunday curse, which is nice, too. We got a few runs and a ‘W.’ It's just the next man up mentality.” - Ray Montgomery after his team’s win against the Phillies in their game on Sunday.
“[The talk] slowed [Díaz] down a little bit. On a day where Díaz comes in and he is not at his best, Luis recognized the moment where Díaz was at. Torrens took a step back, one pitch at a time, just executed it and kept the game right here. I thought it was a key moment.” - Carlos Mendoza after his team’s win against the Reds in their game on Sunday.
