Dbacks vs Mets: Pitchers Duel Ahead

It's April 7th. Welcome to MLB News Today, powered by AI. I'm Cory with the story.

Arizona Diamondback sit at 5 wins and 5 losses, facing off against the New York Mets who are 6 and 4.

The game tips off Tuesday at 4-10pm Eastern Daylight Time in New York.

On the mound, expect Zach Gallen for the D-backs with a 1-in-1 record and 3.60 ERA.

The Mets counter with Freddie Peralta, 1-in-0, 4.35 ERA.

The Diamondbacks desperately want to snap a 3-game road losing streak here.

Betting lines from Bet-MGM have the Mets' favorites at minus 161.

Backs at plus 135 with the over-under at 7 runs.

Both squads had solid but not spectacular seasons last year.

Mets finish 83 and 79 overall, strong at home with 49 and 32.

They averaged 4.7 runs scored per game.

Backs were 80 and 82, struggled on the road at 37 and 44, but smashed 214 homers.

Injuries are piling up for both sides. Mets missing Juan Soto on the 10-day I.L. with a calf issue, plus several pitches on longer terms.

Dax have a laundry list too, like Laura's Gurry L. Jr. on 10-day for his knee and multiple arms out with elbow and shoulder woes.

This matchup could turn into a pitcher's duel despite the bang up rosters, so keep an eye on those early innings for any fireworks.
