Mets vs Yankees Prediction & Pick
The Mets will look to grab another win in the Subway Series with Jose Quintana on the mound. The veteran left-hander is making his second start of the year after returning from a rib injury. He allowed 2 earned runs and tallied 3 strikeouts over 5.0 innings against the Chicago White Sox on July 20.
Quintana is opposed by Carlos Rodon, who has struggled in his first campaign with the Yankees. The 30-year-old has posted a 7.36 ERA and 1.43 WHIP across three starts (0-3 record). It's a far cry from what he accomplished in 2022 as he finished 14-8 with a 2.88 ERA and 1.03 WHIP across 31 starts.
Despite Rodon's struggles, the Yankees are a favorite here for a reason. The Mets are only 24-31 on the road this season and rank 22nd in terms of opponent runs per away game (4.89). Look for the Yankees to earn an early lead before handing the ball to a bullpen that leads baseball in ERA (3.23).
Final Score Prediction:'Mets: 4 | Yankees: 6
Mets vs Yankees Best Bet
Francisco Lindor has started to heat up for the Mets as he has tallied 5 hits over the last three games. He also recorded 4 total bases on Tuesday and enters Wednesday wi th an advantage over other hitters given his experience against Rodon. Lindor is batting .294 with 2 home runs across 34 at-bats against the veteran hurler. This is a bet that could cash in the first inning with an extra-base knock.
