Mets at Yankees picks and predictions
Prediction
Yankees 6, Mets 4
Money line
With some generous rates around the margins, Walker is toting around an ERA significantly lower than his expected ERA.
With the Yankees gaining a dash of momentum the last 2 days, they are the lean here.
Take the Yanks at -125 or better. PASS if the price is higher.

Run line/Against the spread
BACK THE YANKEES -1.5 (+155). Look for a game effort from Montas, and with it shading a higher total, the price is right on getting the home side by with a multi-run cushion.
Over/Under
These Big Apple foes have combined for at least 9 total runs in 8 of their last 10 meetings. The Yankee bullpen is not in great shape, and the weather forecast calls for a light batter’s breeze blowing out to left-center.
Consider a partial-unit play on the OVER 8.5 (-115).
