New York at Houston

Houston spoiled Juan Soto's debut with New York, but the Mets look to bounce back after Soto struck out with two on base in the ninth to end it. They'll turn to Taylor Megill, who finished with a 1.31 WHIP in 2024, and he keeps hitters guessing with eight different pitches, including a four-seamer in the mid-90s. The bullpen pitched 3 1/3 scoreless innings on Thursday, but the situation did not call for star closer Edwin Diaz. Hunter Brown goes for the Astros and went 11-9 with a 3.49 ERA last season. He has faced New York once in his career and allowed six runs on seven hits with two walks in 5 2/3 innings. Houston has gone UNDER nine of its past 11 games played in March, dating to previous seasons, and yesterday's game was an easy UNDER. Take the Mets and the UNDER.
