Result: Win
Both teams have been playing solid baseball recently but it's the Mets who have the most upside in Tuesday's game.
The Diamondbacks have been explosive offensively but it's time for a pullback with Marte and Walker on the injured list. Arizona will find it challenging to score against Sean Manaea, who has been surprisingly impressive following a couple of sub-par seasons with San Diego and San Francisco. The veteran southpaw fanned ten D-Backs earlier this year and has fared well over the past two months, holding 12 of his 13 opponents to three or fewer runs.
The Mets are coming off a series win over the Orioles and a split with the Padres, showing they will be in serious contention for a Wild Card spot. They have hit well on the road (.261 BA/.322 OBP/.430 SLG/.752 OPS) and against left-handers (.258/.325/.442/.768) this year, and have solid career splits against Eduardo Rodriguez (.246/.328/.456/.784 with three HRs in 57 combined ABs).
The Mets slugged their way to a .575 SLG in their last series at Chase Field (July of last season), scoring 19 runs in the three-game sweep. They should continue their hot play in Phoenix against an Arizona rotation that has a 4.42 ERA at home and a 4.72 ERA in night games this season.
In short, New York's offense and pitching advantage will be enough to power them to a win on Tuesday.
