The Houston Astros (45-27) and the New York Mets (47-27) start their short two-game series with an MLB on TBS contest on Tuesday evening, with the first pitch set for 7:10 p.m. ET. Houston is a -120 favorite (risk $120 to win $100) on the money line in the latest Astros vs. Mets odds from Caesars Sportsbook, while the over-under for total runs scored is eight (see up-to-date odds for every game this week on our MLB odds page).

Before making any Astros vs. Mets picks, you NEED to check out the MLB predictions from the SportsLine Projection Model.

The SportsLine Projection Model simulates every MLB game 10,000 times and it is off to a strong start to the 2022 season. It's on a 59-51 run on top-rated MLB money-line picks through 12 weeks. This is the same model that pegged the 2021 Atlanta Braves at 10-1 as one of three best bets to win it all last season. Anybody who has followed it has seen profitable returns.

The model knows Houston second baseman Jose Altuve is a nice offensive option. Altuve has a smooth swing with some pop to spray the ball everywhere. The seven-time All-Star is batting .275 with 15 home runs and 26 RBI. He's hit home runs in back-to-back games.

The model also knows New York first baseman Pete Alonso owns big-time power in the middle of the lineup. Alonso is having a phenomenal start to the year, ranking first in the league in RBI (69) and tied for second in home runs (22). In his last outing, he went 1-for-3 with a double. 

Now, the model has set its sights on Astros vs. Mets. We can tell you the model is leaning over the total, and it also says one side of the money line has ALL the value. You ABSOLUTELY need to see it before locking in any MLB picks.

So who wins Astros vs. Mets? And which side of the money line has ALL the value? Join SportsLine here to find out, all from the model that has crushed its top-rated MLB money-line picks!
