There are no current betting odds listed for this game yet but both of these teams have been having great seasons so far. Both teams are currently leading their respective divisions and both have been making money this year just blindly betting each. That is not an option here though and considering the Astros have Verlander starting in this game, they have a significant advantage over the Mets here. The Astros just swept the Mets in 2 games last week and Verlander has been having another great season to add onto his already great career. He has had a few slip ups recently but is coming off of another great start and has ironed out whatever problems he was dealing with at the time. The Mets have Williams starting here and he has not been nearly as consistent this season, coming off of a start where he allowed 3 runs. The Astros have been pitching so well all season though and they just shut down a lineup as good as the Yankees in their last series, the Mets will struggle to score runs here as well. The best way to place a bet in this game is on the Astros to win this game.
