Oakland Athletics vs. New York Mets Betting Pick: Our Favorite oddschecker+ Positive EV Play for Tuesday
The Oakland Athletics head across the country to New York tonight to take on the Mets in a three-game series from Citi Field. The Athletics have won three of their last five games and have looked much better over the last few months although they still sit at 50–69. Meanwhile, the Mets are in a tight playoff race in the NL East with Atlanta for what could potentially be The last wild card spot. They sit at 61–57 but have lost their last three games.

Oakland Athletics vs. New York Mets Prediction
Tonight, the Athletics face their former pitcher, Paul Blackburn, who played the first 7 1/2 years of his career in Oakland. Blackburn was an excellent pitcher for the A’s the last few years and was traded before the deadline to the Mets.
Paul Blackburn will pitch against one of his former teammates tonight in the form of an electric young hitter, Brent Rooker. Brooker has been one of the best hitters in baseball this year, as he is eighth in OPS at .952 and also eighth in home runs with 29.
Rooker could easily hit this play on a solo homer, but he is also hitting behind some great hitters like Lawrence Butler and Max Schuemann. There should be some runners on base for Rooker to be able to drive them in with a base hit (or potentially a home run), and I love this play as much as the EV Tool does.
