Cincinnati Reds vs New York Mets Prediction, Odds and Picks for Today, 05/25/26

The New York Mets will be hosting the Cincinnati Reds for a three-game series beginning on Monday afternoon. The Mets come into this game with only one win in their last six games. They are facing off against a Reds team that is one of the worst teams in the league when it comes to giving up runs. They average 5.1 runs allowed per game. The Reds will have Nick Lodolo on the mound who has given up 12 earned runs in his last 15.0 innings pitched. On the season he has a 7.20 ERA. The Mets will be countering with Nolan McLean who got tagged for six earned runs in his last outing, including two home runs. That makes three consecutive starts where McLean has given up a homer.

Despite two shaky pitchers on the mound, the game total is relatively low. We do have a weak offensive team in the Mets in this game, but they should be able to take advantage of poor quality of pitching from Lodolo. Look for McLean to do his part in giving up some runs as well. Give me the over in this one.
