Cincinnati Reds
New York Mets
As the Cincinnati Reds visit Citi Field to face the New York Mets on July 19, 2025, both teams are looking to gain an edge in this National League matchup. The Mets, currently sitting at 55-42, are enjoying a strong season, while the Reds, at 50-47, are having an above-average year. This game marks the second in the series, with the Reds looking to bounce back after a tough loss yesterday.
The Mets have been riding the momentum of their best hitter, who has put together an impressive week with 5 hits, 5 runs, 5 RBIs, and 2 home runs over the last 6 games. With an OPS of 0.908, he has been a key contributor to the Mets’ offensive success. On the other side, the Reds’ top hitter has also been productive, with 7 hits and 3 home runs in his last 7 games, boasting a robust 1.121 OPS.
When looking at the pitching matchup, the projections suggest that the Mets will have the advantage. Their projected starter has been effective this season, while the Reds’ pitcher may struggle against a potent Mets lineup. Given the current trends, the Mets’ offense has the potential to capitalize on any mistakes made by the Reds’ pitcher, especially considering the Reds’ recent struggles to contain opposing hitters.
In terms of betting, the Mets’ favorable position in the standings and their recent offensive output could make them a strong play for those looking to back a team with a higher probability of winning than the odds might suggest. As the game approaches, all eyes will be on Citi Field for what promises to be an exciting matchup.
