Houston Astros DFS Spin
Astros center fielder Jake Meyers was excellent in his club’s 9-6 comeback win over the Mets on Saturday. In that contest, Meyers went 2 for 3 with a homer, an RBI, 4 runs scored, and a walk. The right-handed hitter from Omaha has been on a tear over the past week. In the past 7 days, Jake Meyers has posted a slash line of .286/.375/.429. For the season, Meyers is hitting .262 with 8 homers, 30 RBIs, and a .774 OPS. Meyers started at center and hit cleanup on Saturday, and he could be in line for another start at a premium lineup position on Sunday, putting him in play for DFS purposes.
New York Mets DFS Spin
Mets first baseman Pete Alonso was one of four New York players to record multiple hits during the team’s 9-6 loss to the Astros on Saturday. In that game, Alonso went 2 for 4 with 2 RBIs and a walk. He is slashing .244/.330/.472 this season with 19 doubles, 17 homers, 46 RBIs, 46 runs scored, and 2 stolen bases. You might have to pay a premium in DFS, but Alonso could end up being worth it against Houston on Sunday.

Astros vs. Mets Betting Prediction
The Mets had Saturday’s game against the Astros won. New York had a 6-1 lead over the Astros in the third inning but failed to score a run the rest of the game, eventually falling to Houston 9-6. Such a loss could have a carryover effect and may dampen New York’s spirits for this game on Sunday.
Houston will start the game with reliever Shawn Dubin on the hill, and this will be a bullpen game, per Astros beat reporter Brian McTaggart. That might work to Houston’s advantage. The Astros’ bullpen has the 6th best ERA in the American League, and they have multiple star arms like Josh Hader, Ryan Pressly, and Bryan Abreu who could work at least an inning on Sunday. The Astros are 11-4 straight up since June 11th, and I like them to improve that record against the Mets on Sunday. I’m taking Houston on the money line on the road in this one.
