New York Mets vs Cincinnati Reds Match Prediction 19 July 2025

The New York Mets have struggled in this series but being honest, they remain a side that cannot be completely written off. While Cincinnati Reds have shown they can be a top team to trust in fixtures like this, their playoff quest remains a huge momentum in games like this. While looking at the New York run ahead of this game, I believe they can actually pull off a win having already lost more than they win in recent games. Therefore, with the way the Cincinnati Reds played in game two, I believe they will find it difficult to get it right here even though they were brilliant in the first two games.
