Expect another tight, late-spring matchup, but the Mets’ recent dominance in the season series and their deeper pitching staff give them a clear edge. Kodai Senga is lined up on regular rest and should neutralize the Astros’ right-heavy heart of the order with his splitter, while newcomer Jose Alvarado and Adam Ottavino anchor a rested bullpen that has allowed just two runs over its last 12 innings. Houston counters with Hunter Brown, whose command wobbles against lefties; look for Brandon Nimmo and Francisco Alvarez to capitalize early in the third inning when Brown typically turns the lineup over. The Astros’ offense has been feast-or-famine (22 runs in their last two wins, only 4 in three losses), and the trend continues: they scratch a run off Brown’s opposite number in the 2nd on a Jeremy Peña double, add single tallies against a tiring Senga in the 6th and against Drew Smith in the 8th, but never mount the crooked number they need. Jeff McNeil’s fifth-inning RBI knock and Pete Alonso’s two-run shot in the seventh provide breathing room, and Edwin Díaz slams the door with a clean ninth. The Mets extend their head-to-head advantage, stay above .500, and reinforce their top-five power-ranking status heading into the first full week of the season.

Astros Stavljaju Jeremy Peñu na 10-Dnevnu IL s Istezanjem Lijevog Tetivnog Mišića

Peña (.295 AVG, .345 xwOBA, 6 HR u 48 G) je bio primarni shortstop Houstona u sastavu već oslabljenom povredama. Njegova odsutnost dolazi dok se Astros suočavaju s Minnesotom večeras s Burrowsom (5.48 ERA, 1.50 WHIP) na brežuljku tijekom serije od 3 poraza prije nedavne serije od 2 pobjede.

Astros pozivaju Miguela Ulloulu na debut u MLB-u

Ullola ulazi u rotaciju gdje su Burrows (ERA 5,48, 3-8) i Imai (ERA 5,36, 5-3) imali loše rezultate, što daje Houstonu opcije na petoj poziciji. Dolazak 26-godišnjaka ne zahtijeva promjenu u momčadi jer je već bio na popisu od 40 igrača.

Astros Razmjenjuju Jaydena Murrayja s Cubsima

Murray nema dostupne statistike bacanja za 2026., što otežava procjenu stvarne vrijednosti ove razmjene. Sisneros, prospect Double-A, predstavlja manji potez dubine za Houston jer Astros sjede s rekordom 36-41 i razlikom trčanja -35.

Astros Šalju Ryana Weissa u Triple-A

Weiss je prošao kroz waivers nakon što je zabilježio ERA 6.65 u ograničenoj igri 2026. godine, oslobađajući prostor na roosteru za poziv Raynela Delgada. Houston (34-41, razlika trčanja -43) nastavlja s reorganizacijom svoje dubine bacanja dok je tim na četvrtoj poziciji u AL West.

Astros preskaču sljedeći red Mike Burrowsa u rotaciji

Burrows nema zabilježene statistike za 2026. godinu, što ukazuje na ograničenu ili neučinkovitu upotrebu ove sezone. Houston rotacija ima ERA od 4,40 kao tim, pa preskok vjerojatno odražava probleme performansi umjesto ozljede.

Marcus Semien Će Propustiti Duže Vrijeme Zbog Distorzije Fleksora Kukova 3. Stupnja

Semien (.214 AVG, .316 xwOBA u 80 I) je već imao poteškoće u napadu, ali njegova odsutnost uklanja primarnog shortstopa Metsa dok New York sjedA na 35-49 s razlikom od -45 bodova. McLean (4.03 ERA, 106 SO) počinje večeras protiv Toronta s isključenim Semienom na što bi trebalo biti nekoliko tjedana.

Mets šalju Zacka Shorta u Syracuse

Short je prošao kroz waivers s prosječnom vrijednosti od .159 i xwOBA .261 u 26 utakmica, stvarajući prostor za povratak Lindora uprkos Lindorovim vlastitim poteškoćama (prosječna vrijednost .216, xwOBA .332 u 26 utakmica). Ovaj potez je organizacijska čistka za momčad 34-48 koja je već 7 utakmica ispod .500 u NL East.

Mets Otpušta Upravitelja Carlosa Mendozu

Mendoza napušta tim 34-48 (-48 razlike u trčanju, 5. u NL Istoku, 7 poraza u nizu) s rotacijom usidrenom lošim igračima: Senga s ERA 10,08, Peterson s ERA 6,09 i Myers s ERA 6,00. Andy Green preuzima dužnost privremenog upravitelja bez probnog roka za stalno mjesto.

Mets imenuju Andy Greena za privremenog upravitelja; bez audicije za poziciju na puno radno vrijeme

Green se vraća na klupu prvi put nakon sedam godina s NYM-om s omjerom 34-47 (5. mjesto u NL Istoku, razlika trčanja -47, L6). Sternsonova eksplicitna izjava da to nije audicija signalizira da će franšiza tražiti vanjske kandidate, što znači da Greenova upraviteljska mandata će vjerojatno biti privremena bez obzira na izvedbu u završnoj fazi.

New York Mets

Cubs produžuju niz pobjeda na četiri utakmice; Mets produžuju niz poraza na šest

CHC se poboljšao na 44-37 (7-3 u zadnjih 10) dok je NYM pao na 34-47 (2-8 u zadnjih 10) s razlikom u trčanju od -47—rotacija usidrena Peraltinom ERA od 4,53 i Petersonovom ERA od 6,09 (sada u Chicagu) ne može zaustaviti krvarenje.
