Our New York Mets vs Houston Astros 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.
