Juan Soto didn’t have the ideal start to his Mets tenure on Opening Day against the Astros. Soto was actually having a really solid game, getting on base in three of his first four plate appearances. However, his teammates were unable to drive him in and the Mets couldn’t get any runs on the board. However, the team rallied in the ninth, scoring a run and setting up a scenario where Soto was the winning run at the plate with two outs. Soto had a 3-0 count and looked destined to take a walk and send Pete Alonso up to try to win the game with the bases loaded. However, Soto ended up striking out, with the third strike being a terrible swing at a pitch way outside the zone. Yankees fans and Mets haters alike rejoiced at Soto’s first big at bat in a Mets uniform ending so poorly. However, it was just game one of 162 and Soto will surely bounce back quickly.
In Game 2 of the Mets/Astros series, Houston is rolling out the right-handed Hunter Brown. That is good news for the left-handed batter Juan Soto, who has thrived in his career against right-handed pitching. In Soto’s career, he has a .561 SLG and a 1.000 OPS against right-handed pitchers, compared to a .474 SLG and an .857 OPS against left-handed pitchers. Over two-thirds of Soto’s career RBIs have come against right-handed pitchers and Soto should be ready for Brown. Brown is also much better in lower-leverage moments. He allows an opponent OPS of .679 in low-leverage moments compared to an opponent OPS of .756 in medium-leverage moments. In any key situation with runners on base, Soto would have a huge edge over Brown.
My favorite prop bet for this game is for Juan Soto to record an RBI. The odds on this bet are currently +180 at DraftKings Sportsbook. With Francisco Lindor ahead of Soto in the lineup, Soto should get a couple of chances to drive him in. The Mets did a solid job getting runners on base yesterday with six hits and six walks, they just need to drive those runners in. Against Spencer Brown, who does not have the same stuff as yesterday’s starter Framber Valdez, the Mets and Soto specifically should be able to drive in some runs. Soto had 109 RBIs last season and should be set to pick up his first RBI in a Mets uniform on Friday night.
