The New York Mets will go against the Houston Astros in MLB action in Minute Maid Park, TX, on Monday, June 19, 2023, at 8:10 PM ET.
The analysis did not include Sunday’s games, and the 33-37 New York Mets welcomed the St. Louis Cardinals to Citi Field in New York for the final game of a three-game series.
When the struggling Mets defeated the Philadelphia Phillies 4-2 to win a three-game set at home, they were searching for their first series victory since June 1.
In the opening game on Friday, the Mets defeated the Cardinals 6-1, and then on Saturday, St. Louis came back to win 5-3.
The Mets were 11.5 games back of the NL East-leading Atlanta Braves on Sunday after their tenth defeat in 13 games.
The Mets had a dismal 5.70 ERA, 1.47 WHIP, and.280 opposing batting average over the past few weeks while posting a.237/.314/.434 triple-slash with 19 home runs in 389 at-bats.

Despite not engaging in the decision, Scherzer performed poorly in his last two games. On June 7, Scherzer faced the Atlanta Braves and gave up five earned runs on 11 hits over 5.2 innings of work.
This past Tuesday, though, Scherzer faced the New York Yankees and gave up six earned runs on seven hits over just 3.1 innings.
This season, the Mets sent 222 bullpen pitchers to the mound. This season, the bullpen pitchers inherited 90 base runners, and 25.6% of those runners advanced past home plate.
They have made 18 saves this season, while eight of their 26 save opportunities were missed. The Mets bullpen entered the game in 72 save situations with a 69.2% save rate.
The relievers are sixth in MLB with a total of 45 holds for the season. There were runners on base when the Mets’ relief pitchers entered the game 64 times, in addition to their 67 outings in high-leverage situations.

New York Mets vs Houston Astros Predictions 6/19/2023
In the final game of a three-game series at Minute Maid Park, the 39-32 Houston Astros took on the Cincinnati Reds.
Houston lost badly, 10-3, in the main game of the weekend after a challenging 2-1 setback in the opening game on Friday. The Astros have had recent difficulties, winning only three of their last 11 games.
With 472 at-bats and a slash line of.239/.298/.409, Houston hit 19 home runs in the last two weeks.
During that time, the Astros’ pitching staff performed admirably, posting a 3.60 ERA, 1.34 WHIP, and a.247 opponents’ batting average. The Astros are third in the AL West.
On Monday, Hunter Brown, a 24-year-old right-hander, will pitch. He has a 6-3 record, a 3.35 ERA, a 1.19 WHIP, and an 83/26 K/BB ratio in 13 starts (75.1 IP) in 2023. Brown’s last two starts resulted in a 1-1 record.
Brown pitched seven scoreless innings in a 6-1 victory against the Washington Nationals on Tuesday after allowing three earned runs on three hits and three walks over six innings in a 5-1 loss to the Toronto Blue Jays on June 6.
The Houston pitching staff has yielded 233 earned runs while amassing a club ERA of 3.30 (264 runs allowed) thus far this season. They allowed 72 long balls and 3.74 runs per nine innings, which ranks them second in the MLB.
The Astros have a staff FIP of 3.84 and a club WHIP of 1.244 thus far this season. Currently, they have a 9.30 K/BB ratio (656 strikeouts to 217 free passes). With 573 total hits allowed, their pitching staff ranks 10th in the MLB.

- The Houston Astros are 2-5 SU in their last seven matches at home.
- The Houston Astros are 8-0 SU in their last eight matches at home against the NY Mets.
New York Mets vs. Houston Astros The MLB pick for this game is the New York Mets. With the expectation that Max Scherzer would do significantly better than he did in his last two starts against the Braves and Yankees, I’m taking the Mets at plus money.
The current Astros are only 12-for-55 against Scherzer, with one home run and three RBI. Hunter Brown will be the Mets’ first encounter, and over the previous ten days, they have a 107 wRC+ versus right-handed pitchers.
In that time, the Astros posted a 79 wRC+ versus right-handed pitchers. Scherzer must deliver a solid performance for the Mets.
The Mets’ relievers had a problematic bullpen all season, and in the previous ten days, they posted an unimpressive 4.60 ERA and 4.58 FIP.
The Astros’ bullpen, on the other hand, has a 3.45 ERA and 3.68 FIP over the past ten days. The New York Mets will win by a predicted score of 6-3.
