Mets vs Yankees Prediction

The current betting odds have the Yankees listed as a favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Yankees have looked really good in their games this season with their 60-42 record overall which has them in 2nd place of the AL East with one of the best records in the entire MLB. They are chasing down the Orioles in 1st place who they are right behind in the division, and they have looked good in their home games with their 27-21 home record. Meanwhile, the Mets haven't looked great in their games this season with their 50-48 record overall which has them in 3rd place of the NL East. They are only 24-22 in their road games this year and they have been struggling all season to get over .500, only doing so now that they are 6-4 in their last 10 games and getting on a roll. That was before the All-Star break though and they have already lost 2 of their 3 games coming out of it, losing to the Marlins who have been terrible this season. They have a chance to split the series with the Marlins on Monday, but the Yankees will be coming off a win against the Rays on Monday and they will have some momentum as they try to get on a run now. The Yankees are going with Gil in this one and he is 10-5 with a 3.17 ERA. His team has lost 4 of their last 5 games with him starting, but he did give up just 1 earned run in his last start and he is due for some better outings with how well he has pitched all season. Quintana is on the mound for the Mets and he has been pitching well this year, going 4-6 with a 4.13 ERA, but he hasn't looked nearly as good as the pitchers that the Yankees have. Quintana has also been struggling more lately since he gave up 5 earned runs in his last start and his team has lost 2 of their last 3 games with him starting too. The Yankees have the much stronger offense this season but they also have the better bullpen to help them win in this subway series. The best way to place a bet here is on the Yankees to win this game.

Notable Quotes


“(Saturday) I thought we had some really good at-bats. We hit some balls hard but didn’t find holes. Today we had a hard time putting something together. But overall the at-bats are there. We have good hitters.” - Carlos Mendoza after his team’s loss against the Marlins in their game on Sunday.


“Just trying to do too much. I’ve definitely been there plenty of times where you’re trying to get something going, trying to spark the team and stuff like that happens. We’ve just got to go back to just doing our job, and you don’t get a pitch to hit, just pass it to the next guy." - Aaron Judge after their loss against the Rays in their game on Sunday.
