Now off a day, they travel across the bridge to Citi Field to take on the Mets.  The Mets were just in Houston last week and suffered a 2-game series sweep getting outscored 13-5.  They completed the weekend by taking 2 of 3 from the Marlins.

The bet365 sportsbook has all the betting options available for this matchup. The Houston Astros are slight favorites at -120, while the New York Mets are +100.  A $100 wager on the Astros would yield a return of $80 while the New York Mets wager would bring back $100 on the same wager.

Framber Valdez will get the nod to start and will be opposed by Carlos Carrasco.  Valdez enters with a 2.90 ERA on the season and a slightly better 1.95 road ERA.  In his 14 starts on the season, 13 of them he has allowed less than 2 earned runs.  In 8 of those 13, 8 have been 2 earned run or fewer efforts. 

Carrasco started the year strong but has been on a slight regression since.  He has allowed 5 in 2 of his last 3 starts, but both of this were on the road. In his last 2 home starts he has allowed 3 earned runs combined spanning 11.1 innings. This is a good matchup to utilize the bet365 Sportsbook promotion.  Bet just $1 and win, and the bet365 Sportsbook will reward you with $200 in free bets.

The total for this matchup is set to 8 with the slight juice on the over at -115.  A $100 wager on the over would yield $87.  In the last 10 Astros games, the over is 4-3-3.  The New York Mets have played to the over a little better with a 5-3-2 over/under record in their last 10 games. The under has been a great trend when these two meet up in New York, with the under hitting 12 of their last 14 games at Citi Field.

The bet365 sportsbook offers a lot of different betting option, whether it be full games side, total, or even the first 5 innings bet, and all you need to bet is $1 minimum, and you could win $200 in free bets.  If you place a $1 minimum bet and win, bet365 Sportsbook will load four $50 tokens in your account to bet.
