New York Mets Form

New York enter the 2025 season seeking a third playoff appearance in the past four years.

The Mets overcame a poor start to the 2024 campaign to finish 89-73 and make the postseason, but they fell agonizingly short in their quest to win the World Series.

Having downed Milwaukee in the Wild Card and Philadelphia in the Division Series, they suffered a 4-2 series defeat to the Los Angeles Dodgers in the National League Championship Series.

New York go into this new campaign having compiled a 13-13 record during Spring Training.

The Mets went unbeaten during their final five games; a run that includes an 8-2 win over opening-day opponents Houston.

Houston Astros Form

Houston also hold playoff ambitions heading into the new season, having made the playoffs in each of the previous eight campaigns.

The Astros went 88-73 a year ago to seal another trip to the postseason, but their stay proved to be short-lived.

They were paired with Detroit in the American League Wild Card series, and despite holding home advantage for both games they fell to 3-1 and 5-2 defeats to crash out of the playoffs.

Houston enter the new season having gone 16-12 during their Spring Training campaign.

The Astros finished their pre-season preparations on a decent run of form, winning three of their final four games.

Verdict

NY Mets @ HOU Astros

Houston have dominated the Mets in recent times, and Valdez is 3-0 in his last three starts against New York.

That makes the Astros the appealing pick for this season-opening showdown at Minute Maid Park.
