The Astros are coming off a dramatic series against the Yankees (53-20) in the Bronx. They lost two games in heartbreaking fashion, with walk-off Yankee victories. But they also managed to do what some thought impossible. They held the strong Yankees’ offense without a hit on Saturday. The Astros may not have the best record in the MLB, but they’re a force for the top teams to reckon with.
As for the home team, the Mets are 24-10 when they’re playing at Citi Field. They also have yet to lose three games in a row this season. With a loss to the Marlins on Sunday, we don’t want to see them breaking that record in the two-game Astros series. We’ll see if last week’s matchup helped the Mets get Houston’s number.

Player Props for Mets vs. Astros
Betting on player props this week? Here are three top Mets players and the most competitive prop bets available. You can also use player props to trigger welcome offers for new users at New York’s online sportsbooks.
Carlos Carrasco
Carrasco returns to pitch against the Astros after exiting his last start early — also against the Astros. In that game, Carrasco gave up four earned runs in the first inning, then pitched a perfect second inning before giving up a homer in the third and exiting early. He’s cleared to retake the mound today, and we hope to see him back to his peak form.
Pete Alonso
Alongside Lindor, Pete Alonso brought a clutch factor against the Marlins. He hit two solo homers in Saturday’s game and also put up two RBI and two runs scored. One of those solo home runs came in the eighth inning and gave the Mets the lead. His slash line this season is .281/.360/.567.
Francisco Lindor
Lindor was a powerhouse in the Mets’ recent series against the Marlins. In the opener, he hit a solo home run off a 99.1 mph sinker pitched by Marlins ace Sandy Alcantara. The homer is Lindor’s first over the fence with a 99+ mph pitch. He also had a double in the sixth to tie the game and nearly hit a grand slam. His slash line for 2022 so far is .246/.322/.426.
