Houston Astros versus New York Mets is a thrilling MLB matchup on Friday night at Minute Maid Park. This game is part of the three-game season-opening series, and both sides will be eager to lay down a marker. Houston Astros remain one of the top teams in the AL West despite losing Alex Bregman and trading off Kyle Tucker in the offseason. They also lost their dependable cornerstone to Boston Red Sox in free agency. Still, they are one of the strongest sides in the division.
New York Mets, on the other hand, reached the Championship Series last season before crashing out against LA Dodgers. However, after a busy offseason, they enter the 2025 season with a stronger squad. They added Juan Soto, one of MLB's finest sluggers, to their ranks while also resigning Sean Manaea and Pete Alonso. However, Francisco Alvarez, who has been their starting catcher for some time, will begin the 2025 campaign on the injury list.

Our New York Mets vs Houston Astros Prediction
Both teams will have some new faces and a new atmosphere around the team. Houston Astros are the favorites to win this series thanks to their superior pitching staff. They also boast a decent batting core of Yordan Alvarez, Yainer Diaz, and Jose Altuve. With such attacking talent, we expect them to make the postseason or at least get a wild card spot. However, New York's attackers, including Juan Soto, Francisco Lindor, and Pete Alonso, can be hard to defend against and will hit Houston's starter throughout the game. Moreover, Brett Batty had an impressive spring training, recording 18 hits across 20 RBIs. They are exciting betting underdogs here. Our prediction for Houston Astros vs New York Mets: Total runs to exceed 7.5.
