New York Mets' Impressive Winning Streak Expected to Continue Against Toronto Blue Jays in Game 2

The New York Mets have been on an impressive winning streak, securing victory in 10 out of their last 11 games. Their pitching staff, in particular, has been outstanding, allowing an average of just 1.9 runs per game during this stretch. This trend is expected to continue with David Peterson taking the mound, as he has not given up more than two runs in any of his last eight road starts.

On the offensive side, the Mets have shown consistency but not dominance in their recent games. They are set to face Chris Bassitt of the Toronto Blue Jays, who has struggled in his last three home starts, giving up at least four runs in each game. With solid pitching from New York and Bassitt's recent performance in mind, it is likely that the Mets will come out on top in Game 2. Betting on the Mets at -140 is advised.
