3 Bold Predictions for the Mets in 2023

On top of one of baseball's best rotations, the Mets also have the game's best closer in Edwin Diaz. The lineup should continue to be extremely productive as well, as Pete Alonso, Francisco Lindor, Starling Marte, and Brandon Nimmo make up a formidible group of hitters.

In the star-studded National League, will the Mets have enough to do damage in the playoffs?

1. Mets Win the World Series

Yes. This is the year the Mets get it done. New York will sleepwalk to 95+ wins and a playoff spot, so the real questions begin once October rolls around.

Pitching is king in the postseason. No team in the sport has a more accomplished top of the rotation, which spells doom for the rest of the league.

As long as Scherzer and Verlander stay healthy, the Mets will feel great about their chances against any playoff opponent. The Dodgers and Padres are scary, but no other franchise can match the intensity that New York's top two pitchers will bring.

These odds will only grow shorter as the season goes along, so use that promo to snag this value now.

2. Pete Alonso and Francisco Lindor Combine For 75+ Home Runs

The Mets have two perennial MVP candidates as in Alonso and Lindor. The pair combined for 66 home runs last year and I'm expecting a step forward this year, specifically from the star shortstop.

Lindor had three straight seasons of 32+ home runs for Cleveland, but hasn't found that same power in New York. After two seasons to get comfortable and healthy, this is the year Lindor truly delivers on the massive contract he signed.

If Lindor can get to 30-35 homers, then the Polar Bear will take care of the rest. Alonso has hit at least 37 home runs in each of his three healthy seasons and I think he breaks back into the form that saw him blast 53 dingers his rookie year.

It wouldn't shock me to see the duo combine for 80+ blasts, and I'd consider using the promo on either one of them to win MVP, too.

3. Edwin Diaz Strikes Out 125+ Batters

Fresh off a $100+ million extension, Diaz is the best closer in the sport and it's not close. He struck out 118 batters last year in only 62 innings and I think he'll be even better this year.

He struck out 124 batters with Seattle back in 2018, and 125 won't be difficult for him to reach if he gets enough innings. After making an effort to throw his slider more early in counts, Diaz continually put himself in great positions and will continue to do so this year.

We're watching the game's best reliever at the peak of his powers. Have confidence in Diaz to set a new career-high in strikeouts this season.

It's shaping up to be a special season for the Mets. Make sure you're ready to profit from it by utilizing Caesars Sportsbook's awesome promo.
