Mets vs. Rays prediction: MLB picks, odds, best bets Wednesday

Ketel’s boiling.And so are the fans in Arizona.

Ketel Marte, who went AWOL two weeks ago, was booed upon his return to the D-backs lineup Monday.You should have heard the customers at my local bagel shop when I walked through the door Sunday.Things really got out of hand when I held up the already agitated line to order vegetable cream cheese.Today’s the day, Mets fans.

You have been waiting patiently for Justin Hagenman to make his 2026 debut.Right?Hagenman has been recovering from a fractured rib since March.

He allowed 12 runs in 23 ²/₃ innings last year and was most likely booed at his bagel shop as well.Tampa Bay’s Griffin Jax lost two in a row before going on the IL with a pitching elbow.

He’s back as well.We will play $50 on the Mets (+152, DraftKings).Ready? The Pirates led 2-0.

The Giants led 5-2.Bucs led 11-5, then 12-7.

Giants tied it 12-12.The Pirates won 13-12 on a throwing error! Exhausting win.
