— The Read

Clay Holmes is untouchable right now with a 1.69 ERA and 1.41 ERA over his last three starts, while Merrill Kelly is hemorrhaging runs at 9.95 ERA and 12.95 ERA in his last three outings. Arizona's offense has been the only bright spot—4.68 runs per game over 30 days with a 0.72 OPS—but they're facing a Mets team that owns Alvarez on a 7-game hit streak and Benge riding 5 straight games with a hit. The Mets' bullpen (3.92 ERA) also has a meaningful edge over Arizona's (4.69), and the dome neutralizes any weather advantage. Mets should roll here.
