New York Mets DFS Spin
Mets superstar right fielder Juan Soto reached base twice in his team’s 3-1 win over the Astros on Friday night. The four-time All-Star went 1 for 3 with a homer, an RBI, a walk, and a run scored. Soto is hitting .333 with 1 homer, 1 RBI, and an OPS of 1.389 through 2 games this season. Juan Soto has a career batting average of .350 against current Astros hurlers, making him an appealing option in DFS this weekend.
Houston Astros DFS Spin
Astros left fielder Jose Altuve recorded two-thirds of his team’s hits in their loss to the Mets on Friday. Hitting out of the leadoff spot, the 34-year-old from Venezuela went 2 for 3 with 2 singles, a walk, and a run scored. Altuve is batting .429 with an OPS of .929 this season. He has a .795 OPS in 13 career at-bats against Mets starter Griffin Canning. That makes Altuve worth a look in most DFS formats.

Mets vs. Astros Betting Prediction
Last season, the Mets had the number 7 scoring offense in the majors, averaging 4.75 runs per game. That was without Juan Soto. New York added Juan Soto this past offseason but the Mets have only averaged 2 runs per game in their first two games of 2025. I think the Mets’ offense comes to life against Astros pitcher Spencer Arrighetti, who was 7-13 with an ERA of 4.53 and a WHIP of 1.41 last season. I’m taking the Mets on the money line. The pick is New York +105 over Houston at Bovada.lv.
