This is the 2nd game of a 2-game series with the Mets on Wednesday with the 1st game of this series still to be played on Tuesday. Their offense ranks 3rd in the MLB with a .759 OPS.

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 are only a couple of games ahead 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 51-48 record overall which has them in 3rd place of the NL East, but they are starting to get themselves back into the playoff race in the NL. They are only 25-22 in their road games this year, but they have looked a lot better lately with their 7-3 record in their last 10 games. They still split their series with the Marlins coming out of the All-Star break though and the Marlins have struggled since the beginning of the season. The Yankees also split their series over the weekend, but they were playing a Rays team that has looked a lot better lately. The Yankees still have the better offense which has been producing more runs lately, and they are going to have the more favorable pitching matchup too. The Yankees have Cole on the mound in this one and he is 3-1 with a 4.60 ERA. He missed the 1st half of the season but has looked a lot better lately as he gets more starts under his belt. He only gave up 1 earned run in his last start as he continues to improve with each start, and the Yankees have been finding success with him too, winning 4 games in a row with him starting. The Mets will have Manaea going in this one and he is 6-4 with a 3.73 ERA. He hasn't been bad this season but he did give up 5 earned runs in his last start and he will get himself into trouble against this really good offense that has looked better lately. The Yankees were in a big slump before the All-Star break and they will be looking to get hot again as they try to take the division back from the Orioles. The best way to place a bet here is on the Yankees to win this game.
