They enter this game with a 66-31 record overall and have a road record of 29-19. This is the series opener of a 2-game series with the Mets on Tuesday and they had Monday off as a rest day. Their offense ranks 1st in the MLB with a .777 OPS. Nestor Cortes Jr. is their starting pitcher on Monday while Jordan Montgomery is making his start in this game on Tuesday. He is 3-2 with a 3.24 ERA this season. His team lost their last 4 straight games this season with him making an appearance. In his last start, he allowed 2 ER, 0 HRs, and 1 BB with 8 Ks on 7 hits through 6.1 IP against the Houston Astros. 

 

The Mets were on a 3 game losing streak but now enter this game off of a win. They lost their last series against the San Diego Padres 2-1 in a 3-game series. They enter this game with a 59-37 record overall and have a home record of 29-17. This is the 1st game of a 2-game series with the Yankees on Tuesday and they had Monday off as a rest day. Their offense ranks 12th in the MLB with a .719 OPS. Carlos Carrasco is on the mound on Monday while Taijuan Walker will be throwing the first pitch in this game on Tuesday. He is 7-2 with a 2.55 ERA this season. His team won 2 of their last 3 games this season with him making an appearance. In his last start, he allowed 1 ER, 0 HRs, and 2 BB with 5 Ks on 4 hits through 6 IP against the Chicago Cubs. 

The current betting odds have the Yankees listed as a slight underdog in this game. The Yankees have not been playing great in their recent games but they still won their last series against the Orioles and still have the best record in the MLB right now. They won their last game against the Orioles 6-0 and finally had a great pitching performance in that game. They have Montgomery starting here and he has not been very good in his recent starts but the Mets lineup has also been very cold and he should be able to hold them from scoring a lot of runs here. The Mets have not been playing well coming out of the break but they finally got a win against the Padres in their last game. They were not scoring many runs before that game though and they will likely struggle again here as the Yankees will get up for this city rivalry. The Mets also have Walker starting here and he has been great this season but their bullpen has not been great recently and the Yankees have still been scoring a lot of runs recently. The Yankees offense will not stop in this game and all the value is on them here at this price with the kinds of numbers they have been putting up all season. The Yankees have the better offense and it will prevail in this game. The best way to place a bet here is on the Yankees to win this game.

"It's always big to win a series. You don't take that for granted whether you're in a hot streak like we've been at times this year or you're struggling a little bit. Series wins are not to be taken lightly." - Aaron Judge after their win against the Orioles on Sunday.

 

 

“You can't hit a five-run homer and you can't hit a four-run single. Sometimes you want something too much, and something like that might let you kind of get back into the flow of who you are.” - Buck Showalter after his team’s win against the Padres on Sunday.
