Top MLB Betting Odds & Picks for Mets vs. Astros

The Mets better hope they do not face the Astros in the World Series if they make it there, as their four head-to-head meetings have been lopsided. Houston has outscored New York by a combined score of 22-6 this season and looks to finish off the Mets with its ace on the mound. The Astros were surprising underdogs (despite playing the MLB-best Yankees) in Verlander’s last start. Houston is surprisingly not bigger favorites against the less powerful Mets despite Verlander’s early statement to be considered for a third career Cy Young. However, given how good Verlander has been and how lopsided the games between these teams have been, we are getting greedy with laying the -1.5 runs at plus odds instead of taking Houston’s more-than-fair moneyline odds.

New York counters with Taijuan Walker (6-2, 3.03), who has allowed 8.3 H/9 and has a 6.8 K/9 rate, both of which are on pace to be his worst in the last five seasons. That spells trouble against an Astros lineup that ranks third in the league with a 128 wRC+ over the previous two weeks.

Bet: Houston Astros -1.5 Runs (+130 at DraftKings)
