Arizona Diamondbacks vs New York Mets Picks and Predictions May 5th 2025
The Arizona Diamondbacks and New York Mets are set to face off once again, just a week after their last meeting. This time, the showdown shifts to Chase Field in Phoenix for a three-game set starting Monday night. Arizona is coming off a dramatic 11-9 extra-inning win in Philadelphia, salvaging the final game of a tough road trip that included back-to-back losses to the Phillies. The D-backs led 7-1 before nearly collapsing, only to erupt for three runs in the 10th inning and hold on. With Corbin Burnes sidelined due to shoulder inflammation, right-hander Ryne Nelson (1-0, 5.82 ERA) will get the start in the opener. Nelson has struggled against the Mets in the past, holding a 7.64 ERA in

Milwaukee Brewers vs Houston Astros Picks and Predictions May 5th 2025
The Milwaukee Brewers are hoping to ride the momentum from Sunday’s win into a new three-game series as they host the Houston Astros on Monday night. But all eyes will be on right-hander Tobias Myers, who is still trying to find his rhythm after returning from injury. Myers, who was a breakout star for Milwaukee last season, hasn’t looked like himself in 2025. After starting the year on the injured list with a left oblique strain, he’s made a few inconsistent starts, with his last one lasting just two innings. In that game, he allowed two runs on two hits and walked three — a short outing that left the bullpen to eat innings early. Both Myers and manager Pat

St. Louis Cardinals vs Pittsburgh Pirates Picks and Predictions May 5th 2025
It’s been a tough ride for the Pittsburgh Pirates, and the road doesn’t get any easier as they open a three-game set on Monday night against the St. Louis Cardinals. Sitting at just 12-23 on the season, Pittsburgh finds itself in last place in the NL Central and with the third-worst record in the majors. The offense has been the biggest issue, ranking bottom three in nearly every key metric — including runs scored (114), home runs (25), and OPS (.641). And if that’s not enough, they’ve been shut out a league-high six times, including a 4-0 loss to the Padres on Sunday — their fourth straight defeat and seventh loss in eight games.

Oakland Athletics vs Seattle Mariners Picks and Predictions May 5th 2025
The surprise story of the American League West this season? Look no further than the Oakland Athletics. With a winning record 35 games into the season and a recent move to West Sacramento energizing the franchise, the A’s are writing a fresh chapter — and it continues Monday night against the first-place Seattle Mariners. The two teams split a four-game set to open the year, but a lot has changed since. Oakland’s young core has caught fire, winning nine of their last 12 games, while Seattle just had a six-game win streak snapped in a lopsided 8-1 loss to Texas. Heading into this three-game series, the Mariners still lead the division, but the A’s are just two games behind, riding

New York Yankees vs San Diego Padres Picks and Predictions May 5th 2025
The San Diego Padres may boast the best pitching staff in baseball, but they’ll need to prove it in one of MLB’s most hitter-friendly parks when they begin a high-stakes road series against the New York Yankees on Monday night. San Diego’s pitching has been elite at Petco Park, but on the road, the Padres have been far more vulnerable. Despite leading the majors with a 2.75 ERA, their away mark climbs to 4.15 — a figure they’ll need to tighten against a Yankees squad that’s crushed 37 of their 57 homers at home. The Padres are hoping to ride the momentum of a three-game sweep over the Pirates, in which they allowed only five runs, struck out 22, and
