Following their series win over the Yankees, the Houston Astros (67-67) travel across town to open a weekend series tonight against the New York Mets (60-74). Houston holds a one-game lead over the Rangers and a three-game lead over the Mariners in the AL West while the Mets continue to hold down the cellar in the NL East.
The Astros arrive in Queens after a 5-1 series-clinching win last night over the Yankees. three-game series in the Bronx against the Yankees. Hayden Wesneski allowed a single run over five innings to pick up his fourth win in five decisions while Jeremy Pena and Christian Walker each went yard to lead the offense. The Mets enter Friday's opener after dropping the final two games in their three-game series against the Milwaukee Brewers. The offense was non-existent for the entire series scoring just six total runs. The pitching failed the last two days allowing 16 runs. Jacob Misiorowski was more than good enough for the Brewers yesterday, allowing a couple of runs over six innings. The Mets totaled three hits for the game.
Hunter Brown (3-3, 3.51 ERA) takes the ball for the Astros tonight. Shoulder issues have limited Brown this season to just 14 starts but his last two have met the expectations the Astros have for their ace. In 10.2 innings, the righthander has struck out nine and allowed three runs. Houston, though, lost both those games and have in fact lost each of his last four starts. The Mets are sending Christian Scott (4-3, 3.73) to the mound. The Mets have won the righthander's last four starts despite so-so outings by Scott. Last Saturday against the White Sox, Scott lasted just 4.2 innings allowing four runs on five hits. The week before he allowed three runs over 6.1 innings against the Nationals.
Lets dive into tonight's matchup and find a sweat or two.
We've got all the info and **** ysis you need to know ahead of the game, including the latest info on the how to catch first pitch, odds, recent team performance, player stats, and of course, our predictions, picks & best bets for the game from our modeling tools and staff of experts.
