Mets vs Yankees Prediction & Pick
This is not only a massive series when it comes to the Wild Card races, but it is massive for bragging rights as well. The Mets are sending Justin Verlander to the mound behind his 3.47 ERA and 1.16 WHIP in 14 starts (4-5 record). He has allowed less than 3 earned runs in four of his last five starts.
The Yankees are countering with Domingo German. The 30-year-old has posted a 4.52 ERA and 1.08 WHIP across 18 appearances (5-6 record). He has certainly had his ups and downs in 2023, but now gets to face a Mets lineup that ranks 21st in batting average against right-handed pitchers (.240).
This one could come down to the final few innings, which is where the Yankees have an advantage. Manager Aaron Boone's team leads all of baseball in bullpen ERA (3.21). On the other side, the Mets' bullpen has allowed the third-most home runs in the league (49). Back the home team to pull away.
Final Score Prediction:'Mets: 4 | Yankees: 5
Mets vs Yankees Best Bet
Keeping it simple and backing the Yankees along the moneyline is the best way to go. The Yankees have won five of their last seven games against an NL E ast opponent and now face a starting pitcher with a 5.18 ERA on the road this year. Not only that, but the Yankees have scored at least 5 runs in each of their last three games. Hitters have found a groove, which is a good sign for the home team.
