New York Mets (47-51) at San Diego Padres (43-57)
When: Thursday, July 27 at 9:10 PM ESTWhere: Petco Park, San DiegoTV: MLBNProbable Pitchers: Chris Flexen Vs Luis PerdomoAnalysis: To say that this has been a disappointing season for the Mets is putting things a little too mildly. In fairness, they have been hit hard by the injury bug all season long, but are starting to show some signs of life by winning 6 of their last 7, including the opening two games of this series. It’s going to be interesting to see how active the Mets are in the next few days given this positive run. Chris Flexen will make his first career MLB start on Thursday.The San Diego Padres have made a habit of losing this season, but they have at least been a little more competitive to start the second half, covering the spread in 5 of their last 6 games. They have also proven to be a good OVER bet, with 10 of their last 12 games hitting that mark. San Diego are just 4-6 in their last 10 games. Luis Perdomo (4-5, 4.71 ERA) will start.MLB Picks: New York Mets 6 San Diego Padres 5
