New York took Game 1 of this series, 4-3, holding the Angels to three hits and no walks, while striking out 14 batters. Batters are hitting just .161 off Nolan McLean (2.55 ERA), who has a 1.46 ERA on the road. Los Angeles is on a brutal 1-11 skid. Starter Reid Detmers (4.28 ERA) has a 4.76 ERA at home, with the Angels 1-5 in his six starts. Throw in a bullpen that is the second-worst (5.69 ERA) in the majors, and the visitors hold all the cards. Play New York.

Pro Picks
New York at Los Angeles
Two of the more significant developments through the first month of the baseball season are the Mets, with the highest payroll, sitting at 10-21, and Mike Trout's return to dominance. He is leading the American League in runs, is tied for fourth in the majors in homers with 10, and is fifth in OPS. Trout has also drawn the second most walks. He is likely to be a problem for Christian Scott, who will be making his second big league start following Tommy John surgery. Scott's first start did not go well. He could only last 1.1 innings against the Twins, giving up one run on five walks. The Angels have drawn the fourth most walks in the majors. That doesn't bode well for a pitcher with command issues like Scott. Angels starter Walbert Urena has a 4.76 ERA, but has flashed strikeout potential with 13 K's in 11.1 innings this season. Take the Angels.

Pro Picks
Los Angeles at New York
If you are going to beat the Mets at home, you better be ready. New York is 35-16 (.686) at Citi Field, including a sizzling 28-8 record when they are home for at least the fourth straight game. The Angels are still hanging around at 49-52, but they struggle when facing good teams that have a winning percentage of .540 to .620. They are 6-13 this season when playing such teams on the road. I like the Mets in this one.
