The Athletics vs New York Mets Prediction, Odds and Picks for Today, 04/11/26

The Athletics will take on the New York Mets for the second game of their series. In game 1, the Athletics shut out the Mets and won by a score of 4-0. The Athletics have now won 4 of their last 5 games while allowing only 2 runs through their last 3 games. On the mound for the Athletics will be Jacob Lopez. Lopez has pitched 8.1 innings giving up 9 hits and 6 earned runs. The issue for Lopez is that he has walked 10 batters through those 2 starts. This can be a problem against a Mets team that is batting .243 this season with 111 hits. Outside of Lopez, the Athletics bullpen has already allowed 56 hits, 26 runs, and 27 walks. It could be a long day for the Athletics pitchers.

For the Mets, they have been in a scoring slump with only 3 runs through their last 3 games. Even with these poor numbers, they have better hitting statistics than the Athletics on the season. Starting for the Mets will be Kodai Senga. Senga has pitched 11.2 innings giving up 9 hits and 4 earned runs. Senga will look for another strong start against an Athletics team that is batting .227 on the season. Looking at the Mets bullpen, they have allowed 48 hits this season with only 17 earned runs. Overall, the Mets seem to have the advantage across the board, and I do not trust the pitching for the Athletics. I am taking the Mets on the run line.
