Better claim

Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear

Though as for that the passing there

Had worn them really about the same

What is the meaning of "having a better claim" in this stanza taken from Frost's poem "The road not taken"?

Thanks in advance for your answers.
