The Houston Astros and the New York Mets will resume their series on Saturday with the home team gunning for a back-to-back win over the Astros. The Mets drew first blood in their three-game series on Friday as they cruised to an easy 7-1 win behind key home runs from Pete Malonzo and Jeff McNeil in the 6th inning and another scatheless outing from their bullpen. The win bumped up the Nets’ record over .500 at 40-39 and improved their home slate to 21-23. New York has racked up fourth straight wins and won 16 of their 22 games so far this June. On the other hand, the loss ended the Astros’ seven-game winning streak and sent them below .500 at 40-41. Nevertheless, Houston is enjoying their best stretch this June, going 15-8 in the month while batting .278 with 117 runs. The Astros have steadily moved up in the AL West ladder, as they now sit in second place, 5.5 games behind the current leader, the Seattle Mariners, at 47-37.
Pitchers Matchup: Astros LHP Framber Valdez (6-5, 3.68 ERA with 63 strikeouts) will go up against Mets RHP Tyler Megill (2-4, 4.81 ERA with 43 strikeouts).

Our New York Mets vs Houston Astros Prediction
Caesars Sportsbook has set the total at 8.5 runs in Game 2 of the Astros-Mets series. This game will feature two solid teams armed with top-15 offense. Both teams have scored a lot of runs over the last five games. The Mets average 7.3 runs on a .287 batting average, while the Astros generate 5.9 runs on a .305 batting average. Framber Valdez, who allowed three runs in his last two starts, could provide some test to the Mets batting unit. However, with a 19 mph winds blowing towards the left side of Citi Field expected to assist flyballs from right-handed batters, I won’t be shocked if one or both teams score double-digit runs in this game. Our betting prediction for Houston Astros vs. New York Mets: Bet the total to go OVER 8.5 runs, -110, at Caesars Sportsbook.
