New York Mets Riding Strong Pitching to Success, Favored in Matchup Against Arizona Diamondbacks

The New York Mets have emerged as a strong team in both the National League and across the sport in the initial month of competition. Their offense has been impressive, ranking ninth in hits. However, their exceptional pitching has been the key factor in their ability to win games consistently. With Kodai Senga set to start, the Mets are in a favorable position to secure an early lead and ultimately win the upcoming game. On the opposing side, Corbin Burnes of the Arizona Diamondbacks has struggled significantly, evidenced by his 4.70 ERA in three road starts this season. Given the Diamondbacks' recent poor performance, with five losses in their last six games, it is unlikely that they will secure a victory in this match. Therefore, it is advisable to bet on the Mets covering the spread on Wednesday.
