New York Mets

New York Mets overview

The New York Mets play in the National League East at Citi Field in Flushing, Queens. Created in 1962 to bring National League baseball back to New York after the Dodgers and Giants moved west, the Mets have won two World Series, in 1969 and 1986, and five NL pennants. Under owner Steve Cohen, who bought the club in 2020, the Mets have carried one of the highest payrolls in the sport. For bettors, Citi Field's history as a pitcher-friendly park, the Subway Series with the Yankees and the intense media market are key factors, and New York's large fan base can push public money toward the Mets in high-profile games.

Betting insights

Citi Field opened as one of the most pitcher-friendly parks in baseball, and even after the fences were moved in for 2012 and again for 2015, it has generally leaned toward pitchers. Wind off Flushing Bay and cool spring nights reinforce that profile. As a result, Mets home totals can be modest, and bettors should be careful about assuming big offensive nights. Because the Mets are a high-profile team in the largest media market, lines can be shaped by public money, particularly in Subway Series games and nationally televised matchups with the Braves and Phillies. As always, the starting pitcher matchup is the foundation of any Mets bet.
