The Yankees are 9-2 in their last 11 games against the NL East and 2-5 in their last 7 road games. The over is 13-3 in the Yankees last 16 games. The Mets are 22-6 in their last 28 game one’s of a series and 0-4 in their last 4 Tuesday games. The under is 4-1-1 in the Mets last 6 games. The over is 7-1-1 in these two teams last 9 head to head meetings.
This should be a great game and series between two very good teams that are only separated by a few miles. The Yankees come into this series with a huge lead in the AL East and the most wins in baseball. The Mets come into this game with a two game lead in the NL East over the Braves. Both of these pitchers have had success this season, but these two lineups are very good. I like the over in this game as I think the hitting is just better than either pitching staff.
