NEW YORK METS
Starting Pitcher: Jon Niese (0-2, 6.88 ERA)
Lifetime against the Astros, Niese is 1-0 with a 1.29 ERA. Niese is looking to bounce back from his last outing against the Rockies and get his first win of the season.
 
HOUSTON ASTROS
Starting Pitcher: Wandy Rodriguez (0-2, 7.31 ERA)
In three starts this season, Rodriguez has been up and down. He was beat up by the Phillies in the season opener, and in his last start against the Cubs he allowed five runs in five innings. His only good outing has been against the Marlins in which he held the team to just one run.

Both teams have been off to a rough start this season, posting 5-11 records, and the Mets are looking to improve their record at home after posting a 1-6 record in their first home-stand. The Astros are 1-5 on the road so far this season.

I'm stating the obvious here, but if there was ever a time for this team to turn things around, this would be it.
