Los Angeles Angels vs New York Mets Prediction – 7/22/2025

The New York Mets will host the Los Angeles Angels on Tuesday night at Citi Field in Queens. The Mets won the opening game of this three-game interleague series at home. They will look to get another win here to keep the pressure on the Philadelphia Phillies in the race for the NL East title. I have broken this game down from all angles and you can find my Angels vs Mets prediction for July 22 below.

Game Snapshot

• Matchup: Los Angeles Angels vs New York Mets
• Date & Time: Tuesday, July 22, 2025 · 7:10 p.m. ET
• Starting Pitchers: Frankie Montas (NYM) vs Kyle Hendricks (LAA)
• Stadium: Citi Field, Queens, NY
• Broadcast: SNY and FDSW

Key Storylines

Pitching Form

• Frankie Montas returned recently from a lat strain for the Mets. He is 2-1 for the season but his 5.03 ERA suggests that he is vulnerable on the mound. He has allowed four home runs in just under 20 innings of work. That could be a concern against an Angels lineup that does have some pop.
• Kyle Hendricks is 5–6 with a 4.88 ERA this year. He’s highly hittable with 100 hits allowed in 96 innings pitched. Mets bats may feast on Hendricks’ pitching in this one.

Bullpen Usage

Neither bullpen was great in Monday’s series opener. The Mets have the advantage in the bullpen battle going into this contest. But both teams will be looking for more reliable relief pitching after yesterday’s 7-5 slugfest.

Recent Team Streaks

• The Mets won the opener of this series and have won two straight games overall.
• The Angels have dropped three of their last five games and have gone 2-2 during their current East coast road trip.

Best Player Props

Betting Trends & H2H

• The Mets won the first game of the season series between these teams on Monday night.
• New York is 35-16 at home after their win over the Angels to start this series.
• The Angels have covered the runline 55% of the time despite Monday’s setback against the Mets. That percentage ranks sixth out of 30 MLB teams.

Angels vs Mets Model Projection

Score Projection: Mets 6 – Angels 4
Win Probability: Mets 58%, Angels 42%

Final Thoughts

I’m not sure that the starting pitching in this game will perform well on either side. But I do know that the Mets have the edge in terms of quality everywhere else on the field going into this matchup. I recommend laying the runline with the Mets at plus money in this game. If they are going to win, I think it will be by two runs or more in what should be another strong game offensively for the home team.
