Cincinnati Reds vs New York Mets: prediction for the MLB game

The Cincinnati Reds are the clear outsider this season and sit bottom of the National League table. They recorded 27 wins against 52 losses. If the Reds get on a losing streak, usually it is very hard for them to break it. A long list of injuries is a major problem, too - at the moment, 13 players are unavailable for the Reds, so it will be extremely difficult to put up a fight against the Mets. 

Before the start of the home series against the Mets, Cincinnati played a three-game match against the Atlanta Braves. The team clinched one victory (4:3), but suffered defeats in two other games (1:9, 1:4). 

The New York Mets, on the other hand, are the leaders of the American League. They produced a total of 58 victories and have almost secured first place in the standings. The Mets rarely lose matches this season, especially when they have home advantage. Before travelling to Cincinnati, they beat the Texas Rangers at home in two out of three games. 

Starting pitcher in the upcoming game will be David Peterson, who missed several previous games. This season, the player has an impressive record of 5-1.
