Toronto Blue Jays vs New York Mets Prediction, Odds and Picks for Today, 04/05/25

In this game, we will see the Toronto Blue Jays face off against the New York Mets for game 2 of the series. In the first game, we saw the Mets win by a score of 5-0 even though both teams only had 4 hits. Clearly the pitching in game 1 was fantastic so let’s take a look at the pitching for this game. On the mound, we have Chris Bassitt for the Blue Jays and Griffin Canning for the Mets. For Bassitt, his debut game of 2025 was great. He pitched six innings against the Baltimore Orioles and gave up 8 hits and 1 run. It is hard to believe that 8 hits only turned into 1 run. For Canning, his 2025 debut came against the Houston Astros where he pitched for 5.2 innings giving up 4 hits and 2 runs. Both pitchers are looking to continue the great form that they started the season with.

Looking at the hitting, the Blue Jays have a team batting average of .268 with 68 hits and 32 runs scored. The Mets have a team batting average of .184 with 41 hits and 28 runs scored. These statistics show that the Blue Jays are hitting the ball better, but the Mets are hitting much more efficiently with an average of 1.46 hits per run scored. Another interesting thing to consider in this one is the fact that the Blue Jays accrued a total of 32 hits in their series against the Washington Nationals and 32 hits in their series against the Baltimore Orioles. Both the Nationals and Orioles are tied for 26th in the league in hits.

Let’s talk about the important points. The hits accrued for the Blue Jays came against some of the worst pitching in the MLB, while the Mets are tied for 4th in hits given up and 3rd in ERA. Along with these pitching statistics, the Mets are efficiently hitting the ball and have 27 RBI’s on the year compared to the Blue Jays 29 RBI’s. Given the elite pitching of the Mets and the efficient hitting, we have a clear edge in this one.
