Chicago White Sox @ New York Mets - May 28, 2025

Alright, folks! Buckle up because we’ve got a thrilling showdown tonight at Citi Field as my New York Mets take on the Chicago White Sox! As a die-hard fan, I can feel the buzz in the air, and it’s going to be electric.

The Mets are rolling in with some serious momentum, riding a four-game winning streak. That’s right—FOUR! Meanwhile, the White Sox have had their struggles lately with three straight losses. With a record of 34-21, our boys in blue and orange are looking for victory once again against the struggling South Siders who sit at 17-38.

Now let’s talk pitching. The Mets will send out their ace tonight—a righty with a fantastic win-loss record of 5-1 and an ERA sitting at an impressive 2.9. This guy has been racking up strikeouts like they’re candy; he’s averaging about nine K’s per game! You’ve got to love that kind of dominance on the mound. On the other side is Shane Smith for the White Sox—a pitcher who holds a less-than-stellar record of 1-3 with an ERA ballooning over four. Now I know every pitcher has their off days, but that stat line doesn’t inspire much confidence heading into this clash.

Offensively speaking, it’s clear which team has the upper hand here as well. The Mets are putting up nearly 4.4 runs per game and consistently finding ways to get on base—with a hefty on-base slugging percentage just north of 71%. They also hit around eight times each contest! Meanwhile, our friends from Chicago? Let’s just say they’ve struggled mightily with only about 3.4 runs per game and an underwhelming batting average hovering around .218.

To add salt to their wounds, last time these two met—oh man—it was not pretty for the White Sox as they lost by a score of 6-4! That should ring alarm bells for them coming into this matchup.

As far as betting lines go, oddsmakers have opened with the Mets favored at -238—which feels about right considering how both teams have performed recently. And I’m willing to bet that tonight’s total will definitely hit over the projected line of 7.5 runs given both teams’ recent offensive trends.

So what can we expect from this game? Well, I’m predicting that our beloved Mets will take care of business decisively tonight—likely continuing that winning streak while adding another loss to Chicago’s already dreadful season record. If you’re asking me—this one could easily end up being something like an 8-3 victory for New York!

Remember: wear your lucky jersey if you’re watching from home; let’s keep those good vibes rolling! Go Mets!
