New York Mets vs St. Louis Cardinals Game 2 Pick – 5/4/2025

New York Mets vs St. Louis Cardinals Game 2 Betting Preview

The New York Mets and St. Louis Cardinals will face off in the second game of a double-header on Sunday, May 4, 2025. This game comes on the heels of them being washed out on Saturday, with the first game of the twin bill taking place earlier in the afternoon. Bullpen usage in Game 1 will be a key factor in Game 2 here, as will the starting pitching longevity for both teams.

Tylor Megill will take the mound for the Mets in Game 2 of this double-header today. Megill was the scheduled starter for the Mets on Saturday before the game was postponed. He enters this matchup with a 3-2 record and an impressive 1.74 ERA. Megill is likely due for some statistical regression as the season goes on, but he is off to a great start, as are the Mets as a whole.

On the St. Louis side, it will be Andre Pallante taking the mound in Game 2. Pallante is just 2-2 so far this season with a less impressive 4.13 ERA. He has allowed three or more earned runs in each of his last three starts. If Pallante can't eat up some innings without any damage in this game, he could end up letting the Cardinals down, as their bullpen could be used up from Game 1.

The Mets are -150 favorites going into this contest, while the total for the game is set at 8.5. Bettors could see that total move up or down depending on how the pitching situation unfolds in the first game of the day between these two teams and they should monitor the total closely throughout the day.
