New York Yankees vs New York Mets Prediction

The Yankees are having a rough week, and it’s hard to back them with confidence. However, Rodon is one of the better pitchers in baseball this season with his 2.95 ERA and 1.00 WHIP, and he’s allowed just 14 earned runs in his last 34 innings. Rodon has a 2.67 ERA and .206 allowed batting average in 54 road innings. Montas has pitched just nine innings this season and was tagged by the Pirates in his last start. Montas has been all over the place the last couple of seasons. This is a spot where the Yankees should get back on track. Give me the Yanks on the road due to the better pitching matchup.
