Mets vs Diamondbacks
Desert duel tips toward a Gotham pay-off

Mets (22-13) VS Diamondbacks (18-16)
May 6, 2025 | 9:40 PM ET | Chase Field

New York arrives in Phoenix riding an okay run of form and gets a boost with its starter returning from a brief injury break to face an Arizona team that’s stumbled in three of their last four and remains short-handed in the middle of the lineup. While the home side counters with a quality arm of its own, the visitors bring power upside and a deeper bullpen, which has quietly been the league’s best over the past two weeks. With both teams likely leaning on relief help late, that edge could prove decisive.
At a modest price, the Mets' momentum, roster health, and bullpen form give this matchup enough tilt to justify a confident B+ grade. It's a strong play backed by balance and key matchup advantages.

New York enters this desert tilt with the bats blazing and faces an Arizona staff still navigating key absences and bullpen overuse. The Mets' offense has found its rhythm, and the Diamondbacks remain capable of putting up runs despite recent losses. With both bullpens vulnerable—especially late—and the stadium roof expected to stay open, the conditions heavily favor hitters. Even with solid starters taking the mound, the pressure on thin relief corps looms large once pitch counts rise.
At a total of 9 and with momentum pointing toward continued scoring, the over earns a solid B-grade—backed by form, environment, and fading bullpen depth on both sides.

Arizona returns home with a lack of momentum with a 4-6 run in their last ten, but the right pieces in place to extend it. New York, meanwhile, arrived tired after consecutive losses but taking the first game of the series and a series of extra-inning games that have drained an already thin bullpen. With a rested relief corps and their ace lined up for bulk innings behind a cautiously managed return for their closer, the Diamondbacks have the rotation and late-inning edge. Even without extended leash starters, Arizona’s bats have found rhythm, and New York’s arms have shown vulnerability when stretched.
The run-line sits just inside value range, and with the Mets worn down and missing key arms, Arizona is positioned to cover. This one earns a solid B-grade—smart, matchup-based, and built on current form and depth.
