Angels at Mets picks and predictions
Mets 8, Angels 3
Moneyline
PASS.
I've got the Mets winning the second game of this series on Tuesday, but I'll take the better odds on the run line.
Run line/Against the spread
BET METS -1.5 (+115).
There are plenty of reasons to back the Mets on Tuesday night. They've been dominant at Citi Field this season, boasting a 35-16 home record—second only to the Blue Jays (36 wins). That success is driven by elite pitching; the Mets hold a 3.59 ERA at home, fourth-best in MLB, and opponents are batting just .237 at Citi.
SS Francisco Lindor thrives in front of the home crowd, batting .295 with 12 of his 19 home runs coming there. On the mound, Montas makes just his fifth start of the season, but he knows this Angels lineup well from his years with the A's. He looked sharp in his last outing, a road win in Kansas City.
On the flip side, there's little to fear with Hendricks. He's a serviceable veteran, but his stuff isn't overpowering, and he's been inconsistent all season. This sets up perfectly for New York to take care of business. Expect the Mets to roll again Tuesday night.
Over/Under
BET OVER 9 (-120).
The Over is a strong play Tuesday with the Angels involved. They've gone Over in 10 of their last 11 games, thanks to poor pitching—especially on the road, where they carry a 4.73 ERA. With Hendricks on the mound, expect the Mets to do most of the scoring themselves and push this total past the number.

Phillies sign first-round pick Gage Wood, Arkansas pitcher who threw CWS no-hitter
The Phillies signed first-round draft pick Gage Wood, the club announced Tuesday. Selected 26th overall in the 2025 MLB Draft, the Arkansas pitcher is best-known for throwing a no-hitter against Murray State in the 2025 College World Series — the event's third-ever no-hitter and first in more than 60 years. He had a perfect game until the eighth, when he hit a batter in the foot. 'I think about it almost every day,' Wood said of the HBP at Citizens Bank Park on Tuesday. The right-handed pitcher throws a fastball that reaches 98 mph, sitting at 95-96 mph. The pitch drew the highest whiff rate of any fastball in Division I baseball this season. His curveball sits around 83-85 mph. He also throws a cutter and splitter, which the Phillies envision him using in a starter's four-pitch mix. In 10 starts in 2025, Wood went 4-1 with a 3.82 ERA in 37 2/3 innings. He struck out 69 and walked seven. Advertisement Wood was injured for nearly two months of the NCAA season with a shoulder impingement before returning in mid-April. The Phillies were not concerned by the injury as they scouted him. Wood arrived at Citizens Bank Park a few days before Philadelphia announced the signing, catching some Phillies games — including Kyle Schwarber's grand slam on Saturday. 'I've been showing (the video) to all my friends, that this place was going bonkers,' Wood said. Next for Wood: reporting to Florida, where he will 'work as hard as I can to perform the best that I can.'
