Yankees at Mets picks and predictions
Prediction
Yankees 5, Mets 4
Money line
The Mets have had some recent offensive struggles at home. PASS …but keep an eye on the line. An underdog Yankees play around +160 or +165 would have some leverage.

Run line/Against the spread
PASS. Would want a -140 or better to have the Yankees side of this one.
Over/Under
The price on a warm-weather-wind-out game between 2 foes that can mash home runs is solid. German and a struggling Yankees pen carry high-total risk, and Scherzer may not be fully sharp the second time out after the All-Star break.
BACK THE OVER 7.5 (+100).
