St. Louis Cardinals vs New York Mets Prediction & Picks - MLB

Prediction published on 4/26/24, 1:58 AM  by Lou Aguila | Modified on 4/26/24 at 3:59 AM in MLB Picks

The New York Mets vented off all their frustrations in the final game of their series against the San Francisco Giants, as Francisco Lindor spearheaded an 8-run barrage to snap a three-game losing skid. The Mets are back on the winning column after suffering three consecutive setbacks on the road. Lindor drove four runs with a pair of home runs to set the tone for the Mets in a morale-boosting 8-2 win. Now back in the comfort of their home, the 13-11 Mets hope to keep racking up wins as they attempt to narrow the gap between them and the current No.1 team in the NL East Standings - the Atlanta Braves. The Cardinals won their three-game series with the Arizona Diamondbacks, bringing them three games below.500 at 11-14. Still, they have a long way to go before they can take the top spot in the NL Central Standings, which is presently held by the 16-8 Milwaukee Brewers. Cardinals’ Miles Mikolas (1-3, 6.49 ERA with 20 strikeouts) will face off against Mets’ Jose Butto (0-0, 1.65 ERA with 21 strikeouts).
