Texas Rangers vs NY Mets Prediction

These two teams come into this game heading in completely opposite directions and the Mets will be looking for their eighth straight win here. New York has caught fire over the last two weeks and they are now 17-14 on the road. Texas cannot string wins together right now and they are just 16-19 at home. I don’t love the pitching matchup for either side in this matchup and I think we could see a good amount of runs. New York is scoring at a crazy pace right now, while Texas has allowed 33 runs in their last four games. My Texas Rangers vs NY Mets prediction is for this game to go over the total.
