After a disastrous weekend series against the Seattle Mariners, the New York Mets hope to get a quick fix to their broken egos as they shoot for a victory against the visiting Oakland Athletics at Citi Field. The Mets are coming off arguably their worst stretch of the season after losing all three games to the Mariners in the worst possible way. New York scored just one run throughout the series while allowing Seattle to drop 20 runs on them. The Mets’ recent batting struggle has been exposed in that series. Over the last 10 games, New York has batted .254 with 3.5 runs per game. Pitching has also been problematic lately for the Mets, who have conceded a 5.36 ERA and .346 OBP in their last five assignments. Meanwhile, the Athletics have earned win No.50 this season after they took down the Toronto Blue Jays 8-4 in their series-finale on Monday. While there are still plenty of games left to make a run at one of the wildcard spots in the American League, the Athletics might be modestly aiming for a respectful finish in their last stand in Oakland. The As are playing its final season at Oakland Coliseum before moving to its temporary home at Sutter Health Park in West Sacramento for the 2025-2027 season. By 2028, the Athletics are expected to play their home games in their permanent home in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Our Oakland Athletics vs New York Mets Prediction
The Mets will deploy right-handed pitcher Paul Blackburn to the mound in the hope of sparking some life to their listless pitching staff. Blackburn (5-2, 3.86 ERA) will be facing his former team for the first time since he was traded to New York in exchange for Kade Morris. Blackburn hasn’t disappointed so far, winning his first two games for the Mets with an average strikeout of 6.0 per game. I feel Blackburn will bank on his familiarity with the A’s batting corps to get a few strikeouts more than his usual output in this match. Our betting prediction for the New York Mets vs. Oakland Athletics: Back Paul Blackburn to throw 7+ strikeouts, +170, at DraftKings.
Prediction:
