In this Rangers vs Mets Prediction, the Mets are coming as -170 home favorites. the Rangers are going for a bullpen game in this one, and they have the 6th-best bullpen ERA in the league. On the flip side, McLean has been looking good for the Mets, and he zero earned runs in his two home starts this season. The Mets are weaker against lefties, so I expect a low-scoring affair today. Take the under 8 runs.
