The Houston Astros are on the road to open a three-game series against the New York Mets. Both teams are coming off sweeps and Houston took a two-game series against Colorado while the Mets swept the Yankees in a two-game series. Houston is back to .500 on the season. Ronel Blanco gets the start for the Astros. He is 7-2 with a 2.34 ERA. In his last outing, he went seven innings allowing one run. He is 4-0 with a 1.98 ERA on the road this season. The Mets will go with Jose Quintana on the mound. He is 3-5 with a 4.58 ERA this season. He is 1-3 with a 3.49 ERA at home this season. Both teams are on an upswing and are at .500. Houston is 11-3 in games Blanco has started this season. Blanco is the better pitcher and pitches better on the road. He has a 1.98 in his five road games this season, and he has only allowed two total earned runs over his last 20 innings. Both teams have been playing well but I will be on the better pitcher.

Play on Houston. This is a 3% play
