New York Mets vs. New York Yankees Prediction

I’m on the Yankees in this one. I just think that the Subway Series is a highly competitive series, but the Yankees are the better team and have looked much improved with the return of Aaron Judge to the lineup. The Mets haven’t been as sharp against lefties as they’ve been in recent weeks, and I think the Yankees get the job done here to draw first blood. Give me the Yankees.
