New York Mets vs New York Yankees Prediction

The Yankees are playing the better baseball, but I’m grabbing the plus money with the Mets on Saturday. Schmidt has been hittable this season with his 4.73 ERA, and he has control issues at times. The Mets have won seven straight games Canning has pitched, and he’s allowed a combined 12 hits and two runs in his last 16 innings. With a 2.36 ERA and 1.26 WHIP through 42 innings, Canning looks like he can be an all-star for the first time. It’s also only a matter of time before the Mets’ offense breaks out of this funk. Give me the plus money with the road team.
