The New York Mets and the Texas Rangers meet Tuesday in MLB action from Globe Life Field. We will look at this from a betting perspective and determine the best bets for this game. Here’s a New York Mets vs. Texas Rangers prediction.
The New York Mets will send out Sean Manaea for the start here and Manaea is 5-7 with a 4.74 ERA and 132 strikeouts this season. MacKenzie Gore will start for the Rangers and is 8-11 with a 4.67 ERA and 172 strikeouts this season.
The New York Mets come into this game looking to bounce back from a 7-2 loss at the hands of the Phillies last time out to sit at 71-85 this season. After this series, the Mets will head on the road for a series against the Washington Nationals.
Bo Bichette leads the Mets with a team-high 161 hits and 76 RBIs while adding 24 doubles, 2 triples, and 17 home runs so far this season. Carson Benge has added 157 hits with 19 doubles, 3 triples, 19 home runs, and 61 RBIs, while Juan Soto leads New York with a team-high 26 home runs alongside 103 hits, 11 doubles, 2 triples, and 65 RBIs on the year. Marcus Semien has contributed 104 hits with 14 doubles, a triple, 14 home runs, and 48 RBIs, while Brett Baty has logged 95 hits with 21 doubles, a triple, 10 home runs, and 52 RBIs. Francisco Alvarez has also chipped in 83 hits with 12 doubles, 16 home runs, and 40 RBIs for New York up to this point in the season.
Brandon Nimmo leads the Rangers with a team-high 148 hits while adding 34 doubles, 4 triples, 14 home runs, and 61 RBIs so far this season. Ezequiel Duran has added 137 hits with 27 doubles, 4 triples, 17 home runs, and 83 RBIs, while Jake Burger leads Texas with a team-high 27 home runs and 88 RBIs alongside 124 hits and 23 doubles on the year. Josh Jung has contributed 114 hits with 25 doubles, a triple, 11 home runs, and 39 RBIs, while Joc Pederson has added 88 hits, 12 doubles, 2 triples, 26 home runs, and 53 RBIs. Corey Seager has logged 83 hits with 16 doubles, 18 home runs, and 47 RBIs, and Evan Carter has chipped in 74 hits with 13 doubles, 3 triples, 9 home runs, and 38 RBIs for Texas up to this point in the season.
I’m on the Rangers in this one. Texas has just hit another gear this late in the season and I think they keep it going here. Sean Manaea has been hit or miss and I trust the Rangers’ bats against left-handed pitching and this late in the season, I think the Rangers get it done.
