The Rangers are averaging 5.58 runs while their pitching is giving up 4.26 runs per game. The offense is ranked 3rd in the league while the pitching is ranked 9th.

All the Mets Do is Lose

This Mets team has been awful and they come into this game with a 60-72 record overall. It looked like they might pick up a win on Monday, but they gave up three runs over the last two innings and that was enough for the victory. The Mets are averaging 4.36 runs while their pitching is giving up 4.66 runs per game. The offense is ranked 20th in the league and in this game they need to try and find more run support.

Shane’s Free Pick

This game is going to be lower scoring. I don’t trust the Mets offense and they are going to really struggle to get any type of offense going here against Heaney. Quintana doesn’t have the best record, but his ERA isn’t terrible and he’s going to slow down the Rangers here. Back the under to cash here with ease.
