(MLB) NY Mets vs. Arizona,
Total: 9.50 | -109.00 Under
Result: Win
Play: Over
Rating: 8/10*

The New York Mets closed out last week with four straight defeats despite scoring 22 runs. Over is 12-3-1 in their last 16 road games and I predict another high-scoring game when they visit the Arizona Diamondbacks Monday night.

Zack Wheeler (2-2, 4.18 ERA) takes the ball for the Mets. Wheeler has pitched pretty well this season but he's averaging only 92.7 pitches per start, and the Mets' relievers were pretty active during the weekend. Their relievers are among the worst in baseball this season with a 4.93 ERA.

The Diamondbacks counter with Zack Godley (1-0, 2.25 ERA) who will make his third start for the season in place of injured Shelby Miller. He has allowed just three runs through 12 innings of work, but he posted a 6.39 ERA in 27 games (nine starts) in 2016. Over is 7-1 in Godley's last eight starts overall and 19-4-4 in the Mets' last 27 games vs. a right-handed starter.

Over is 4-0 in the last four head-to-head meetings.
