Final Mets-Athletics Prediction & Pick Joey Estes was sent to the minors after his last start, but there is the potential he is recalled for this one. With Luis Severino expected to pitch Sunday, this could be a position where the Athletics go with a bullpen game or find a spot starter on their roster. Regardless, this should be a situation where the Mets can score plenty of runs. Meanwhile, David Peterson has been solid this year. He has given up just three runs, with two of them on solo home runs. Playing in this ballpark in Sacramento can give up home runs easily, especially for flyball pitchers, but Peterson has still been solid. Further, members of the Athletics have not hit well against David Peterson. They have hit just .158 with two RBIs. Both RBIs came on a single from Luis Urias. Expect this to be a higher-scoring game, but the Mets will take the win. Final Mets-Athletics Prediction & Pick: Mets ML (-136)
