New York Mets vs Texas Rangers Prediction & Picks - MLB

Prediction published on 9/13/25, 1:04 PM  by Erik Gibbs | Modified on 9/13/25 at 7:30 PM in MLB Picks

The New York Mets head into Saturday's game against the Texas Rangers looking to stop the bleeding after a disastrous stretch. The losses have been cumulative and the problem apparent at the plate and in the field. They've been unable to string rallies together and find themselves ahead at the very beginning of games. That has kept their bullpen strained and the offense looking for fixes.

A series sweep at the hands of a team last week was a quintessential illustration of just how inconsistent this club has been, especially with situational hitting. Citi Field has been anything but a fortress either, and the club realizes that the urgency is building.

Meanwhile, the Rangers are rolling. They've got a red-hot lineup that has managed to put up crooked numbers on an opponent more than once. The pitching has done the same, and the rotation has looked balanced and sharp.

The most recent sweep showed their ability to win close games and those that got away from them as well, and that they are bringing momentum and confidence to the series.
