Chris Bassitt has a 2.52 ERA in his last eight starts and will lead a Mets team that is 26-6 in their last 32 games during Game 1 of a series.
The Reds have the worst bullpen in MLB and will be starting Justin Dunn, who is making his 2022 MLB debut. In seven AAA starts, Dunn went 0-3 with a 6.92 ERA and 1.81 WHIP. I expect the Mets to blow this game open early and roll.
