The Mets have started well with very good pitching and solid hitting so far. The Diamondback's pitching has been OK but hitting has been at a league low. Bassitt was overpowering for the Mets in his first start, lasting 6 innings of shut-out ball. D-backs' pitcher Davies allowed 2 runs with 3 walks but didn't get much support.

The Mets' improved offense will help to avoid those low scoring loss as per last year. All 5 of their wins have been by 2 runs or more. The Diamondbacks have scored just 15 runs in 6 games, and it won't get any easier against Bassitt. Take the Mets - 1 1/2. They should be good for the runs.
