Texas Rangers at New York Mets Prediction

Heading into Sunday’s interleague matchup between Texas and New York, the Mets are the favorite to pick up the win. Even though Carlos Carrasco has taken the loss in 2 straight games, both outings came vs the Astros. I don’t expect the Rangers to give Carrasco as much of a problem. I like New York on the moneyline.
