The Mets are 1st in the Majors in Relieving Pitching (WAR) while the Padres are 8th.
On the hitting side, the Mets have a .297 wOBA and a .310 OBP. The Padres have a .309 wOBA and a .322 OBP. The Mets have 44 HRs this season while the Padres have 61 HRs.
Stroman of the Mets is the better starting pitcher while the Padres have the hitting advantage. That said, I like the value of the Mets to win the game at +135.
