A Look at the New York Mets at San Diego Padres MLB Odds Prediction & TV Info

When: Friday, May 6, 2016, 10:40pm Eastern time Where: Petco Park, San Diego TV: SNY, FSSD Radio: New York / San Diego  Live Stream: MLB.tv MLB Odds: TBA Pitching Matchup: Noah Syndergaard (2-1, 2.51 ERA) (NY) vs Drew Pomeranz (2-3, 2.48 ERA) (SD)

Why Should You Bet on New York?

The otherworldly fastball of Noah Syndergaard has been getting a ton of press lately, and his 44 strikeouts in five starts are among the league leaders. The only Padre who has ever gotten off a hit off Syndergaard is Derek Norris (2-6 lifetime, 1 HR, 2 RBI). The Mets have now won six consecutive series thanks to their 8-0 whitewashing of the Braves on Wednesday, who emphatically ended a 17-inning scoring drought and appear back on track with their bats.

Why Should You Put Your Money on the Padres?

The Padres dealt Syndergaard the worst start in his entire major league career, tattooing him for seven runs in just four innings. In his 24 regular-season starts since then, though, he has posted a combined 2.99 ERA. The Padres will be starting Drew Pomeranz, who despite that 2-3 record has been the best starting pitcher on the San Diego roster, permitting only a .194 opponent batting average and nailing 36 strikeouts in five starts. The only Met ever to get a hit off Pomeranz is Asdrubal Cabrera.

Expert Betting Pick and Final Score Prediction

I think Syndergaard will have a much better outcome this time than his last experience with the Padres. I’m predicting a 5-1 New York win.
