Last season was his first in the majors with Houston. He ended up playing in 29 games, starting 28, and going 7-13 with a 4.53 ERA, 1.41 WHIP, and 2.6 K/BB. Opponents hit .250 against him, slugged .424, and had an OPS of .758. Arrighetti gave up 139 hits, including 21 home runs.

Our Houston Astros vs New York Mets Prediction
Each team has won one game in the series by the same 3-1 score. The Mets have recorded 11 hits, Houston ten. There are several things to factor into a prediction for this game: Houston’s homerun-friendly park, Juan Soto, Canning’s history against the Astros, and Arrighetti giving up 21 homeruns last season. The first two games were quiet, but I think both offenses will explode in this game. As for who wins—I’m going to say Houston, but that’s not how I’m betting.
