New York Mets at New York Yankees odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Wednesday’s New York Mets at New York Yankees odds and lines, with MLB expert picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The New York Mets (52-48) take on the New York Yankees (60-43) Wednesday in the finale of a 2-game set at Yankee Stadium at 7:05 p.m. ET (ESPN). Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Mets vs. Yankees odds and make our expert MLB picks and predictions for the best bets.

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).

Mets at Yankees projected starters

LHP Sean Manaea vs. RHP Gerrit Cole

Manaea (6-4, 3.73 ERA) makes his 20th start. He has a 1.24 WHIP, 3.6 BB/9 and 8.6 K/9 through 101 1/3 innings.

  • Last start: Loss, 5 IP, 5 ER, 8 H, 1 BB, 1 K in 6-4 defeat at Miami Marlins Friday
  • 2024 vs. Yankees: 1 home start, win, 5 IP, 0 ER, 2 H, 5 BB, 3 K in 12-2 rout June 26
  • Last 5 starts vs. Yankees: 1-2, 4.21 ERA (25 2/3 IP, 12 ER), 1.29 WHIP, 31 K

Cole (3-1, 4.60 ERA) makes his 7th start. He has a 1.40 WHIP, 3.1 BB/9 and 10.4 K/9 through 29 1/3 innings.

  • Last start: Win, 6 IP, 1 ER, 6 H, 1 BB, 8 K in 6-1 home victory vs. Tampa Bay Rays Friday
  • 2024 vs. Mets: 1 road start, loss, 4 IP, 6 ER, 7 H, 4 BB, 0 K in 9-7 setback June 25 — was Cole’s 2nd outing of season
  • Last 5 starts vs. Mets: 1-1, 8.49 ERA (23 1/3 IP, 22 ER), 1.93 WHIP, 23 K

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3012″ ]

Mets at Yankees picks and predictions

Prediction

Yankees 4, Mets 3

Moneyline

Cole’s numbers against the Mets are damning, but I pay more attention to his last 2 starts July 19 against the Rays and July 12 against the Orioles. He combined for 12 IP, 2 ER (1.50 ERA), 11 H, 2 BB and 15 K. That’s more like Cole than the bad numbers against the Mets.

There is no scenario that I see the Mets sweeping the season series against the Yanks. That said, I’m not touching the Yankees’ -175 ML with a 10-foot pole.

Instead, I’ll take GERRIT COLE UNDER 18.5 OUTS (-155). It may be close as he has gone 6 innings in each of his last 2 starts. He hasn’t gone more than that in any start this year — nor has he done so in his last 5 starts against the Mets.

Run line/Against the spread

I’m not a fan of the Yankees only bringing back +115 on a RL bet, either. Considering Cole’s shaky past against the Mets and their recent surge, I’ll look elsewhere.

I’m going with AARON JUDGE OVER 1.5 TOTAL BASES (+100). Judge is 6-for-13 (.462) with 2 homers lifetime against Manaea. He has 23 hits (.311 BA) against lefties this season, and more than half (13) have gone for extra bases.

Over/Under

We’re expecting a 77-degree evening with straight-line winds from right to left at 6 mph. Each team is 5-5 O/U in their last 10. The Over is just 1-4 in the last 5 head-to-head meetings at Yankee Stadium.

I’ll take UNDER 8.5 (+100).

Mets at Yankees projected starters

Quintana (4-6, 4.13 ERA) makes his 20th start. He has a 1.26 WHIP, 2.99 BB/9 and 6.95 K/9 in 102 1/3 IP.

  • Last start: Loss, 5 2/3 IP, 5 ER, 6 H, 1 BB, 8 K in 8-5 loss against Colorado Rockies on July 14

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3012″ ]

Mets at Yankees picks and predictions

Prediction

Yankees 7, Mets 6

Moneyline

BET YANKEES (-160).

The Yankees have won 4 of their last 7 games including 2 of their last 4 at home. Gil has been one of their best starters with 10 wins and a 3.17 ERA. The Mets have lost 3 of their last 5 games and have scored 4 runs or fewer in 3 of their last 4. While the matchup should be close, the home team holds the advantage.

Run line/Against the spread

PASS.

There is a better probability for the Yankees to win outright over covering the spread.

Over/Under

BET OVER 9 (-110).

While both pitchers have been solid, both offenses have too. The Mets scored 6 runs in their last game and have scored 6 or more runs in 6 of their last 10 while the Yankees scored 9 on Monday and have scored 5 or more runs in 4 of their last 6 overall.

New York Mets at New York Yankees odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Wednesday’s New York Mets at New York Yankees odds and lines, with MLB expert picks and predictions.

The New York Mets (47-53) and New York Yankees (53-48) meet Wednesday for the back half of a 2-game Subway Series in the Bronx. First pitch at Yankee Stadium is slated for 7:05 p.m. ET (TBS). Let’s analyze FanDuel Sportsbook’s lines around the Mets vs. Yankees odds and make our expert MLB picks and predictions for the best bets.

Season series: Mets lead 2-1

The Mets had slashed a subpar .188/.276/.321 in going 4-7 from July 8-23, but they exploded for 9 runs in Tuesday’s series opener. New York’s National League entry registered 5 doubles and 3 HRs in downing the Yankees 9-3 Tuesday.

The Yankees had a 3-game win streak snapped Tuesday and are 5-10 over their last 15 games. They are last in the AL East, 9 games back.

Mets at Yankees projected starters

LHP Jose Quintana vs. LHP Carlos Rodon

Quintana (0-1, 3.60 ERA) is making his 2nd start of the season. He has a 1.20 WHIP, 0.0 BB/9 and 5.4 K/9 in 5 innings.

  • Last start: Loss, 5 IP, 2 R, 6 H, 0 BB, 3 K vs. Chicago White Sox Thursday

Mets at Yankees picks and predictions

Prediction

Mets 5, Yankees 4

Moneyline

The Mets have underplayed their talent so far. They’ve scored 4.47 runs per game while allowing 4.58: look for both figures to improve in the second half.

The mound match-up is plenty questionable on both sides, but the Yankees  bullpen figures as one due some regression and Rodon has just been way off so far.

The price here is solid: BACK THE METS (+128).

Run line/Against the spread

This is also a solid price on the visiting nine. Some bettors may want to spread the risk across 2 plays — the ML action above and METS +1.5 (-164).

Over/Under

Since July 3, games at Yankee Stadium have seen the Over go 7-2-2.

With some fade against the Yankee bullpen, and on a warm night in the Bronx, BACK THE OVER 8.5 (-115).

The New York Mets (46-53) and New York Yankees (53-47) meet Tuesday for the front end of a 2-game Subway Series in the Bronx. First pitch at Yankee Stadium is slated for 7:05 p.m. ET (TBS). Let’s analyze FanDuel Sportsbook’s lines around the Mets vs. Yankees odds and make our expert MLB picks and predictions for the best bets.

Season series: Tied 1-1

The Mets dropped 2 of 3 to the Red Sox in a weekend series at Fenway Park. They have slashed a subpar .188/.276/.321 in going 4-7 over their last 11 games.

The Yankees are coming off a 3-game sweep of the Kansas City Royals. But New York’s American League entry has also struggled on offense in the recent past. From July 5-19, the Yanks went 2-9 with a .630 OPS.

Both teams were idle on Monday.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3012″ ]

Mets at Yankees projected starters

RHP Justin Verlander vs. RHP Domingo German

Verlander (4-5, 3.47 ERA) makes his 15th start. He has registered a 1.16 WHIP, 2.8 BB/9 and 7.6 K/9 in 83 innings.

  • Owns a 2.25 ERA over his last 7 starts
  • ERA is his would-be single-season highest since 2014 (4.54)
  • Has registered a 6.84 ERA over his last 4 road starts
  • Owns a 2.48 ERA over his last 5 starts against New York (2018-23)

German (5-6, 4.52 ERA) makes his 19th start. He has a 1.08 WHIP, 2.9 BB/9 and 9.3 K/9 in 97 2/3 innings.

  • Has had some clunkers over the last month, but does own a solid 3.47 ERA in his last 33 2/3 IP at home
  • Current-roster Mets batters own an aggregate .797 OPS against him

Mets at Yankees picks and predictions

Prediction

Mets 5, Yankees 4

Moneyline

The Mets have underplayed their talent so far and figure to be a moderate play in a lot of games in the near future. But peg Verlander as being too far over his skis with his good recent numbers. Over his last 9 starts, the veteran righty has benefited from a .267 batting average on balls in play, 77.1% left-on-base rate, and 7% home runs/fly balls rate.

Cross signals make for a PASS.

Run line/Against the spread

Same as above; no interest in forcing something here. AVOID.

Over/Under

The Yanks got their offense cranked up over the weekend, scoring 18 runs over 3 games. Since July 3, games at Yankee Stadium have seen the Over go 6-2-2.

With some fade lean working against Verlander and the Yankee bullpen, and with German being the frequent sufferer of bouts of gopher-itis, BACK THE OVER 8.5 (-115).

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).

Season series: Mets lead 2-0

Mets at Yankees picks and predictions

Prediction

Mets 5, Yankees 4

Money line

The Mets are worthy of being significant favorites in this spot. The Yanks would be a decent play against the grain at +145 or +150. But a line move that far seems unlikely.

STEER CLEAR.

Run line/Against the spread

Peg these 2 offenses as being either bloated (Mets) or undercut (Yankees) by recent situational results. That same principle holds up in the Yankees’ recent won-loss record, so there is a sliver of room for profit on the YANKEES +1.5 (-125).

Over/Under

These Big Apple foes have combined for 9 total runs in 7 of their last 9 meetings. The Scherzer half of this starting mound match-up (and the Yankees’ recent woes with the bats) makes for low total here.

But the price is attractive in shading something higher. Consider a partial-unit play on the OVER 7.5 (-102).

New York Mets at New York Yankees odds, picks and prediction

Analyzing Sunday’s New York Mets at New York Yankees odds and lines, with MLB picks and predictions.

The New York Mets (42-36) face the New York Yankees (41-40) for Game 1 of their seven-inning doubleheader Sunday at Yankee Stadium. First pitch is scheduled for 2:05 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook‘s lines around the Mets vs. Yankees odds with MLB picks and predictions.

The Mets beat the Yankees 8-3 in the first game of the series Saturday with their one through three hitters (CF Brandon Nimmo, SS Francisco Lindor and 1B Dominic Smith) batting a combined 8-for-15 with four RBIs.

Mets at Yankees odds, lines, picks and prediction

MLB odds courtesy of BetMGM; access USA TODAY Sports for a full list. Odds last updated at 10:20 a.m. ET.

  • Money line: Mets +145 (bet $100 to win $145) | Yankees -175 (bet $175 to win $100)
  • Against the spread/ATS: Mets +1.5 (-160) | Yankees -1.5 (+135)
  • Over/Under: 6 (O: -105 | U: -115)

Prediction

Yankees 4, Mets 2

Money line (ML)

“LEAN” to the YANKEES (-175) for a half unit because of the expectation that Cole will have a bounce-back performance after his worst outing of the season in Boston his last time out.

New York is sliding further and further back in the AL East standings and the Yankees need their ace to get them back on track. New York has lost six of its last seven games heading into next weekend’s All-Star break.

Both lineups have been severely disappointing thus far but the Yankees’ struggles at the plate have been more publicized since they came into this season in a win-now mode and the World Series odds to back that up.

However, the Yankees hitters do have a higher WAR, wRC+, wOBA, BB/K rate and hard-hit rate than the Mets.

Run line/Against the spread (ATS)

PASS because the Yankees -1.5 (+135) will have two less innings to win by two or more runs and they are just 14-27 ATS as a home favorite this season while the Mets +1.5 (-160) are 15-7 ATS as a road underdog.

Over/Under (O/U)

Slight “LEAN” to the OVER 6 (-105) for a one-third unit because each starters’ pitching peripherals are as surprisingly bad as their basic numbers against their respective opponents and the Over is 3-0-1 in the last four Mets-Yankees meetings.

That being said, it’s only a “lean” because Cole is still a Cy Young contender despite a couple of recent rough outings and Stroman is a “top of the rotation” starter as well.

New York Mets at New York Yankees odds, picks and prediction

Analyzing Saturday’s New York Mets at New York Yankees odds and lines, with MLB picks and predictions.

The New York Mets (41-36) and New York Yankees (41-39) play the opener of a three-game interleague set Saturday at Yankee Stadium. First pitch is scheduled for 1:05 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook‘s lines around the Mets vs. Yankees odds with MLB picks and predictions.

RHP Taijuan Walker is the projected starting pitcher for the Mets. He is 6-3 with a 2.38 ERA, 1.03 WHIP, 9.3 K/9 and 2.8 BB/9 in 79 1/3 IP over 14 starts.

Walker allowed just 1 run on 3 hits and a walk with 5 strikeouts in 5 innings earning no decision June 25 against the Philadelphia Phillies in his last start. He went 2-2 with a 3.26 ERA in five starts in June.

LHP Jordan Montgomery is the projected starting pitcher for the Yankees. He is 3-2 with a 4.06 ERA, 1.21 WHIP, 8.8 K/9 and 2.5 BB/9 in 82 IP over 15 starts.

Montgomery lost his last start allowing just 3 runs on 8 hits and 2 walks with 5 strikeouts over 6 innings in a quality start at Boston last Saturday. His 3.77 ERA in five starts in June marked his best month of the season.

MLB odds courtesy of BetMGM; access USA TODAY Sports for a full list. Odds last updated at 7:44 a.m. ET.

  • Money line: Mets +125 (bet $100 to win $125) | Yankees -155 (bet $155 to win $100)
  • Against the spread/ATS: Mets +1.5 (-155) | Yankees -1.5 (+125)
  • Over/Under: 8.5 (O: -115 | U: -105)

Prediction

Mets 6, Yankees 4

Money line (ML)

Both sides are rested after Friday’s rainout which will be made up Sunday as part of a day-night doubleheader, so Saturday’s game is the new opener of this interleague set.

The Mets are 7-2 in their last nine tries against a winning team and they have one of their best pitchers on the hill. Take METS (+125) as a nice play in this road game.

Run line/Against the spread (ATS)

The METS +1.5 (-155) are a decent play on the run line if you’re not quite feeling them to win straight up. Remember though that the Yankees are just 1-5 in their last six games overall and 1-4 in their last five as a favorite.

Over/Under (O/U)

The OVER 8.5 (-115) is the way to go in this game. The Over has hit in the last four interleague games for the Mets and 4-1-1 in the last six for the Yankees at home.

In addition, these Subway Series games have been slugfests over the years, with the Over 13-3-1 in the last 17 meetings at Yankee Stadium.

New York Mets at New York Yankees odds, picks and prediction

Analyzing Friday’s New York Mets at New York Yankees odds and lines, with MLB picks and predictions.

The New York Mets (41-36) and New York Yankees (41-39) open a three-game Subway Series Friday with a 7:05 p.m. ET first pitch at Yankee Stadium. Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook‘s lines around the Mets vs. Yankees odds with MLB picks and predictions.

RHP Taijuan Walker is the projected starting pitcher for the Mets. In 14 starts this season, Walker is 6-3 with a 2.38 ERA, 1.03 WHIP, 9.3 K/9, and 2.8 BB/9 in 79 1/3 IP.

Albeit in limited at-bats, current Yankees own a high-contact .980 OPS against the veteran right-hander. However, Walker has been terrific of late:  since June 3 when he walked 4 batters against just 2 strikeouts at the San Diego Padres he has logged a 2.84 ERA and 0.99 WHIP in 25 1/3 IP, issuing just 2 walks while fanning 31.

LHP Jordan Montgomery is the projected starting pitcher for the Yankees. he is 3-2 with a 4.06 ERA, 1.21 WHIP, 8.8 K/9 and 2.5 BB/9 in 82 IP over 15 starts.

Montgomery owns a 3.35 ERA over his last seven starts. Over that span he’s faced the talented batting orders of the Red Sox, Athletics, Blue Jays (twice), Twins, and White Sox. The Bronx lefty owns a tidy 2.61 ERA over seven starts at Yankee Stadium in 2021.

  • Money line: Mets +120 (bet $100 to win $120) | Yankees -145 (bet $145 to win $100)
  • Against the spread/ATS: Mets +1.5 (-160) | Yankees -1.5 (+135)
  • Over/Under: 8.5 (O: -120 | U: +100)

Prediction

Yankees 5, Mets 3

Money line (ML)

Peg New York’s American League entry as the best side in this one. TAKE THE YANKEES (-145).

The Mets are 1-4 over their last 5 games; the Yankees are 1-5 over their last 6. Both bullpens have been on a slide, and the Yanks more so than the Mets, but the Yankees offense has at least started to crank it up. They own an .808 OPS over the last two weeks while the Mets have posted a figure exactly 200 points lower.

Montgomery has a fair line while Walker’s has been supercharged from some hard-to-repeat rates around the margins, such as his .261 batting average on balls in play, for instance.

Run line/Against the spread (ATS)

The run-line price on the Yankees is attractive. BACK THE YANKEES -1.5 (+135).

Over/Under (O/U)

A cooler, breeze-in night in the Bronx, complete with decent starters, above-average bullpens, and a rested Yankee relief corps all factor into 8 runs being a well-made total.

TAKE THE UNDER 8.5 (+100).
