Season series: tied 1-1
The Astros doubled up the Mets 4-2 Tuesday, cashing as a -130 favorite against old friend RHP Justin Verlander. It was a nice bounce-back game after the Mets pounded the Astros 11-1 in the series opener Monday.
Houston snapped a 5-game losing skid with the win Tuesday, and it avoided its longest losing streak since June 2021. The Astros are still experiencing a bit of a power outage lately, however, averaging just 2.8 runs per game across the past 6 outings.
