Saturday baseball on FOX will feature the second of a three game series when the New York Mets try to rebound from Friday’s embarrassing loss on the road vs the Texas Rangers. The scheduled starting pitchers in MLB betting odds for Mets vs Rangers odds have lefthander Jonathon Niese for the Mets and righthander Alexi Orgando for the Rangers. Niese will take the mound with a 6-6 record on the season with a 3.70-ERA while Orgando has gone 7-2 on the year with a powerful 2.66-ERA.

Saturday afternoon baseball on FOX of the Mets vs Rangers game can be seen live at 4:10pm EST from the Rangers Ballpark in Arlington, Texas. MLB odds at online sportsbooks have opened with the Rangers as -177 favorites at home while the Mets are listed as +162 road underdogs with an over/under total of 9 OVER (-120). Bookmakers have also listed Texas -1.5 (+105) favorites on the run line with New York +1.5 (-125) on the road for Saturday’s game on FOX. The NY Mets had won two straight games vs the Oakland Athletics to finish a 6-game home set but fell apart on Friday once they went on the road to play Texas.

The Mets lost 1-8 on Friday as +154 MLB betting underdogs with Mike Pelfrey pitching. New York didn’t have much of a chance in this game as Pelfrey was tagged for 3-runs in the first inning and the Mets bats were held silent until the fifth. Ruben Tejada provided the only offense of the game for New York with a single to center field that scored Ronny Paulino in the fifth inning. It doesn’t look like things will get much better for the Mets today unless starting pitcher Jonathon Niese can bounce back from a 5-run, 8-hit performance in only four inning vs the Los Angeles Angels. Although the Mets pulling off a victory today in Texas seems bleak after losing the first game, New York does have positive betting trends having recently gone 4-2 when playing the Rangers.

Texas has been playing well as of late going 5-3 overall and 3-1 since playing the Houston Astros last Monday. The Rangers took down the Mets 8-1 on Friday to win as -164 favorites in MLB betting odds as starting pitcher Matt Harrison went 6-6 on the year allowing only 7-hits over 7-innings. Josh Hamilton went 2-5 with 2-runs, 3-RBI’s and hit his 100th career home run in the win vs the Mets. Alexi Ogando will take the mound for today’s game on FOX at Rangers Ballpark and will try recover from his last two losing start vs the New York Yankees and Atlanta Braves. While the Rangers have gone 2-4 recently vs New York, it is important to note Texas is still 4-1 when playing at home and 5-2 over their last 7-games.
