New York Mets vs Toronto Blue Jays Prediction: Mets to do well at home

Saturday's Major League Baseball action at Citi Field features a matchup between the New York Mets and the Toronto Blue Jays.

The New York Mets have won their last three games by a combined score of 10 runs, and they have won their last seven games by a score of 4 runs or more in six of those seven games. When scoring four or more runs in a game, the Mets have won seven of their last nine contests. Jeff McNeil and Pete Alonso have combined for 108 hits and 63 RBI for the Mets, with Jeff McNeil leading the team in hits with 64 and Brandon Nimmo in RBI with 21. The Mets have a record of 4-0 in their previous four games played on Saturday and a record of 9-4 in their last 13 games overall. In the Mets previous six games played on Saturday, the under is 5-1.

The Toronto Blue Jays have scored a total of 12 runs in their most recent three games, but they have scored three runs or fewer in six of their most recent eight games. The Blue Jays have been unsuccessful in winning six of their last nine games when scoring three runs or fewer. The Blue Jays are led in hits and runs batted in by Bo Bichette, who has 81, while Matt Chapman and Vladimir Guerrero Jr. have combined for 122 hits and 65 runs batted in. The Blue Jays have a record of 7-1 in their last 8 games played on Saturday, and they have a record of 21-9 in their last 30 games played during game 1 of a series.

Justin Verlander has been solid in three of his five outings, so his return to form is imminent. Chris Bassitt's 5.45 earned run average and.275 opponent batting average on the road are indicative of the Toronto Blue Jays' inconsistent play this season. Therefore, I am backing the New York Mets at home.
