The Arizona Diamondbacks are on the road to take on the New York Mets Wednesday night. It’s time to continue our MLB odds series with a Diamondbacks-Mets prediction and pick. We will also let you know how to watch the game.

Despite a lopsided score and home runs by Francisco Lindor, Pete Alonso and Starling Marte, the most impressive inning for the Mets was one where they didn’t have to swing the bats at all.

The Mets’ bats remained scorching and have scored 34 runs in three games. The Mets’ defenders seemed to try to outdo one another during one spectacular half-inning. And the Mets’ pitching arms quietly lowered their collective ERA to an MLB-best 2.60.

Francisco Lindor and Starling Marte each hit an early two-run homer, and the New York Mets put on a dazzling display of sparkling defense in their 8-3 victory over the Arizona Diamondbacks.

Somewhere between the offense scoring eight more runs and the defense completing three straight noteworthy plays and Pete Alonso making history and the team running its home winning streak to eight, an undeniable truth became clear.
