Our New York Mets vs Houston Astros Prediction
The Mets are the clear favorite in this game; however, they still look to be the best betting option. As bad as the Mets have been this season, McLean has been one of their better pitchers. In 13 home starts, he has allowed 37 runs (32 earned) over 72.2 innings. Sousa, on the other hand, has almost exclusively come out of the bullpen this season. In 10 away appearances, he has allowed 6 runs (5 earned) over just 8.2 innings.
There is also the fact that the Astros have been one of the more inconsistent teams this season and are only leading the AL West because the rest of the division is just as bad. For that reason, our New York Mets vs Houston Astros prediction is: New York Mets ML.
