The Mets get here with a 60-37 record and have lost 3 of their last 5 games. The team is averaging 4.66 runs per game. They're batting for .252 AVG, 447 runs scored in 820 hits and 93 home runs, ranking #6 in offense in the league tied with the San Francisco Giants. Jeff McNeil is batting for .300 AVG while Pete Alonso leads with 25 home runs and 82 RBI.

Defensively they are allowing 3.8 runs per game and rank #4 in the league. Chris Bassit leads the pitching staff with a 3.72 ERA, 115 strikeouts and 7 wins recorded with the NY Mets.

Probable Pitcher:  Max Scherzer (6-2, 2.28 ERA)

Scherzer will be on the mound in the 2nd game of the series for the Mets. On Friday, the Mets lost 4-1 to the Padres after Scherzer allowed two runs on five hits and a walk over six innings. He got eight strikeouts. He has a 4-4 record with an ERA of 3.93 and 68 strikeouts in 9 appearances against the Yankees in his career.

BETTING TRENDS

The total has gone OVER in 9 of NY Yankees' last 11 games on the road.

The total has gone OVER in 5 of NY Yankees' last 6 games when playing on the road against NY Mets.

The total has gone OVER in 7 of NY Mets' last 8 games against NY Yankees.

NY Mets are 3-5 SU in their last 8 games against an opponent in the American League.

Prediction

These are 2 of the best offenses in the league, the Yankees are #1 and averaging over 5 runs per game and the Mets are #6 averaging 4.6 runs per game. The Yankees will send Domingo German to the mound who struggled in his debut this season allowing 5 runs in 3 innings against the Astros. The Mets offense continue to stay hot and scored 6 runs to beat the Yanks. Max Scherzer will start for the Mets who has done a great job so far this season held the Yankees to only one run for 7 innings the last season. It's hard to trust in German and with Scherzer on the mound for the Mets they have a clear advantage. Take the Mets.

PICK: Mets ML (-165)
