The Diamondbacks (16-14) are two games above .500 on the road and are 4.5 games back in the NL West Division standings. Last night, Geraldo Perdomo had a two-run single and a sacrifice fly to lift Arizona to a 4-3 road victory.

Twenty-nine year old righty Zac Gallen (1-4 5.57 ERA) will head to the hill for the Diamondbacks in this contest. Control has been an issue for Gallen, who has walked 15 batters and surrendered five home runs through 32 plus innings. 

The New York Mets have won 13 of their first 15 home games and have a 3.5 game cushion over Philadelphia for the top spot in the NL East Division. During Wednesday’s home loss, New York batters went 0-for-10 with runners in scoring position and left 13 men on base. C Francisco Alvarez grounded out with the bases loaded to end the game for the Mets, who fell to 21-10 on the year. 

Thirty-two year old righty Kodai Senga (3-1 1.26 ERA) appeared to be fully healthy for the Mets. Senga, who features a devastating ghost fork ball, has fanned 25 batters and sports a 1.05 WHIP across 28 plus frames. 

New York RP A.J. Minter is dealing with a significant lat injury and could require season ending surgery. Through 30 games, Arizona ranks 4th in OPS and 5th in runs scored. For the season, New York ranks 8th in OPS and 8th in runs scored. Take the over. Final Score Prediction, New York Mets win 6-4.
