Mets vs. Padres Betting Prediction

Carlos Carrasco has been a solid piece for his team this season, but his road performances raised questions. He features a 5.06 ERA and allowed a .287 batting average through 21.1 innings when playing in unfamiliar territory. Blake Snell could be a better starter for the side, but the visitors will try a different route this time. The Mets could be in a tough spot after their most recent series, while the Padres are coming off an impressive week. The margins are narrow, but the hosts might have something good in their hands come game night.
