What our Post expert thinks about Mets vs. Astros

Although their win totals are close entering Friday, the Astros have a good chance of securing a playoff spot thanks to a volatile AL West playoff picture. 

Francisco Lindor and the Mets’ NL Wild Card hopes still remain distant, but there is optimism that Juan Soto could return to the lineup by early September.
