The biggest strength for New York is its ability to limit opposing hitters. The Mets have the better opponent batting average and a slightly lower WHIP than Toronto. Even with recent offensive struggles, those pitching numbers give New York an opportunity to stay competitive.

New York Mets vs Toronto Blue Jays Picks and Prediction
New York Mets vs Toronto Blue Jays Pick
- Pick: Toronto Blue Jays Moneyline
I’ll side with Toronto in this matchup. The Blue Jays won the first meeting of the series 2-1 and have the stronger offensive numbers in batting average, runs scored, hits, on-base percentage, and slugging percentage. While New York owns slightly better overall pitching numbers, Toronto’s recent head-to-head victory and offensive edge make the Blue Jays my selection.
New York Mets vs Toronto Blue Jays Total Pick
- Take the under if the total is set at 8.5.
I would lean toward the under if the total is set at 8.5. These clubs combined for only three runs in their most recent meeting, and both offenses have averaged fewer than 350 runs on the season according to the provided data. New York also owns the better opponent batting average, while Toronto has allowed just a 4.12 team ERA. I think another lower-scoring game is the stronger play.
Final Score Prediction: Toronto Blue Jays 4 – New York Mets 3
