Texas Rangers vs New York Mets Prediction, Odds and Picks for Today, 09/12/25

I lean towards an under on the posted game total in Friday’s matchup between the Texas Rangers and the New York Mets. Jacob deGrom is set to start for the Mets in this game, marking his 28th start of the season for his squad. DeGrom takes on his former Mets club in this start, making for an easy headline and potential added motivation for the right-hander. In his 155.2 innings so far this season deGrom has recorded 169 strikeouts while maintaining a 0.93 WHIP and 2.78 ERA. He allowed 2 home runs in his last start to Houston but is otherwise in good form entering this game.

Jonah Tong is set to make his 3rd MLB start of his career in this game. Tong was shaken up a bit in his last outing, allowing 3 home runs to the Reds in Great American Ballpark, but he now returns home where he delivered 5 innings with 1 earned run allowed in his MLB debut against the Marlins. I am encouraged by both his minor league profile and how he looks on the mound, and I expect his best start as a major leaguer in this game.
