Season series: Mets lead 3-0
The Mets have won 3 of 4 after taking Tuesday’s game 3-2. They are crazy hot right now at 7-3 over their last 10 games. 2B Jeff McNeil, who is having a forgettable season, hitting .225, is 6-for-15 (.400) with 4 homers and 8 RBIs in the 5 games since the All-Star break. His 2-run HR in the 6th was basically the difference Tuesday.
Conversely, the Yankees have lost 3 of 4 as their offense has been inconsistent. Their run outputs since the All-Star break are: 6, 1, 4, 9 and 2. OF Aaron Judge (.309, 35 HR, 89 RBIs) isn’t the problem — BetMGM Sportsbook has him as the frontrunner for AL MVP at -400 odds (Orioles SS Gunnar Henderson and Royals SS Bobby Witt Jr. are next at -600 each). Judge is hitting .342 with 7 homers and 19 RBIs over the last 30 days (23 games).
