Diamondbacks vs. Mets Odds, Run Line and Total<\/p>\n
Odds via DraftKings Sportsbook<\/a><\/p>\n Run Line\u00a0<\/p>\n Diamondbacks +1.5 (-168)Mets -1.5 (+139)<\/p>\n Moneyline<\/p>\n Diamondbacks: +135Mets: -163<\/p>\n Total<\/p>\n Diamondbacks vs. Mets Probable PitchersArizona: Zac Gallen (1-1, 3.60 ERA)New York:\u00a0 Freddy Peralta (1-0, 4.35 ERA)Diamondbacks vs. Mets How to WatchDate: Tuesday, April 7Time: 4:10 p.m. ESTVenue: Citi FieldHow to Watch (TV): SNY\/DBacks.TVDiamondbacks record: 5-5Mets record: 6-3Diamondbacks vs. Mets Best MLB Prop BetMets Best MLB Prop BetFreddy Peralta 6+ Strikeouts (-138)<\/p>\n Even though he\u2019s thrown just 10.1 innings through two starts this season, Freddy Peralta has seven strikeouts in each of those games.\u00a0<\/p>\n On Tuesday, the Mets ace has a tough matchup against an Arizona team that leads MLB in strikeouts per game (6.9) so far in the 2026 season. Still, I think Peralta is worth a look in this market with his prop down at 5.5.\u00a0<\/p>\n Statcast ranks Peralta in the 84th percentile in strikeout percentage and the 81st percentile in whiff percentage in the 2026 season. Not only that, but he struck out 204 batters in 176.2 innings last season and averages over 11 K\u2019s per nine innings in his career.\u00a0<\/p>\n I\u2019ll buy Peralta at a discounted price, even though the D-Backs have been a tough team to strike out this season.\u00a0<\/p>\n Diamondbacks vs. Mets Prediction and Pick<\/p>\n Both of these pitchers have been All-Stars in their careers, and Peralta didn\u2019t have a great first outing in 2026.\u00a0<\/p>\n So, why are the Mets favored in this matchup?<\/p>\n Well, New York is ninth in MLB in OPS so far this season (Arizona is 23rd), and it turned things around in a weekend series with the lowly San Francisco Giants.<\/p>\n Peralta\u2019s first outing was shaky, but he then followed it up with 5.1 innings of three-hit, one-run ball against St. Louis.\u00a0<\/p>\n The Mets ace has a sub-4.00 ERA in six straight seasons, including a 2.70 ERA in 33 starts in 2025.\u00a0<\/p>\n Gallen, on the other hand, has struggled since finishing third in the Cy Young voting in 2023. The righty has a 4.29 ERA in 63 starts since then, including a down 2025 season where he posted a 4.83 ERA and a 1.26 WHIP.\u00a0<\/p>\n Since the New York offense has been better than Arizona\u2019s to start the season, I feel comfortable laying this price with Peralta on the mound.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n Pick: Mets Moneyline (-163 at DraftKings)<\/a><\/p>\n Odds refresh periodically and are subject to change.<\/p>\n If you or someone you know has a gambling problem and wants help, call 1-800-GAMBLER.<\/p>\n Claim the latest\u00a0DraftKings promo code<\/a>\u00a0offer today.
