Guardians vs. Mets odds, prediction, and betting tips for MLB Props
The Cleveland Guardians will have their first game of the series against the New York Mets when they travel to Citi Field (7:10 p.m. ET). The Guardians really need to win this series after failing to win their last series against the Chicago White Sox losing two of the three games. They will look to continue their momentum from last game when they defeated the White Sox 3-1. Meanwhile, the Mets will look to continue their winning streak as they have won two games in a row. They won their last series against the Tampa Bay Rays winning the last two games of the series. Look to see if they can carry this momentum into this game against the Guardians.

This is an easy one just keep following the streak. The Mets have not scored the first run in their last 12 games. This is just simply tailing a hot streak and hoping it keeps on going. Especially, with Carlos Carrasco pitching for the Mets I like the chances of the Guardians scoring first.
