\nThe Mets have had a somewhat up-and-down season, currently sitting at 78-64. They\u2019re just outside the playoff race, meaning every game counts from here on. Offensively, the Mets rank 7th in MLB, averaging 4.78 runs per game.<\/p>\n
They have reliable power hitters like Pete Alonso, who has already smashed 31 home runs this season, and Francisco Lindor, who leads the team in RBIs.<\/p>\n
Pitching-wise, the Mets’ rotation has been solid but not spectacular. Paul Blackburn, who takes the mound, has had a tough stretch recently, allowing five runs in just 2.1 innings in his last start. His 4.66 ERA this season leaves some room for concern, especially against a Blue Jays lineup that can be explosive\u200b.<\/p>\n
Toronto Blue Jays<\/strong> Chris Bassitt, who will start for the Blue Jays, has been reliable this season, but he\u2019ll need to keep the Mets\u2019 powerful lineup in check to give his team a chance to win. Toronto\u2019s pitching staff ranks 22nd in MLB in terms of runs allowed per game, surrendering 4.74 on average, so they\u2019ll need to find a way to limit damage on both sides of the ball\u200b.<\/p>\n Let\u2019s now break down the score predictions and key takeaways from five leading models for the game:<\/p>\n 1.

\nOn the other side, the Blue Jays (67-75) are hanging by a thread in their pursuit of a playoff spot. They\u2019ve been struggling lately, especially in their recent loss to the Atlanta Braves, but they still have players like Vladimir Guerrero Jr. to drive their offense. Guerrero has 28 home runs and 98 RBIs on the season, leading Toronto\u2019s effort with consistent power hitting.<\/p>\n![\"mlb](\"https:\/\/atswins.ai\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/mlb-New-York-Mets-vs.-Toronto-Blue-Jays.png\")

Betting Picks and Recommendations<\/h3>\n
\nThe models are split between the Mets and the Blue Jays, but three out of five<\/strong> (BetQL, SportsLine, Action Network) predict the Mets to win. Considering the Mets have the better offense and pitching advantage on paper, a bet on the Mets Moneyline (-114)<\/strong> is a strong option, particularly given their motivation to stay in the playoff race\u200b.<\/p>\n
\nMost models lean toward a total score under 8.5<\/strong>, with only two predicting the over. If you believe the Mets\u2019 offense can control the game and Blackburn can bounce back from his last start, the under 8.5<\/strong> is a safer bet. However, if you anticipate another poor start from Blackburn and expect Toronto to exploit it, then consider the over\u200b.<\/p>\n
