New York Yankees at New York Mets Betting Prediction

The New York Yankees will travel to Queens on Tuesday to take on the New York Mets. This is one of the best rivalries in baseball as the Mets and Yankees will meet for the first time this season. Despite being nine games behind the first-place Tampa Bay Rays in the American League East, the Yankees have had a much better season. They come in at 38-29 but have struggled a bit recently without Aaron Judge.

The Mets, on the other hand, come in nine games behind the first-place Atlanta Braves and are four games under .500 at 31-35. They’ve won just two out of their last 10 games.

Despite the recent struggles, the sportsbooks believe that the Mets are going to be able to come away with the win as they come in at -150 on the moneyline.

Can The Yankees Get To Max Scherzer?

This Yankees lineup looks much different without Aaron Judge, and it could be a major call for concern. Although they still have above-average hitters in the lineup, it’s obvious what the Yankees are missing right now. They will need to find a way to score runs against an elite arm in Scherzer. Otherwise, things might start to get bad for them.

They can’t continue to lose games at this type of level if they want to catch the Tampa Bay Rays in the American League East, despite the injuries that they’re facing.

Scherzer is hittable this season, as he comes in with a 3.71 ERA and 1.18 WHIP. Those are arguably the worst numbers of his career in the past 10 seasons, and the Yankees need to take advantage of that.

Giancarlo Stanton is also playing a bit again for the Yankees, which should be a good sign for them. He’s been able to come back within the past few weeks and needs to get on a roll here. When he came back, he was hitting above .270 but is now hitting just .233.

Mets Look To Get Back On Track

The New York Mets have been one of the most disappointing teams in baseball this season, and it’s been a major call for concern. There are a few ways that we can look at what they’ve done, but the Mets need to be better if they want to catch the Atlanta Braves in the National League East.

The National League East is one of the best divisions in baseball, and losing any game could hurt them down the stretch. The Mets lineup needs to be better as they come into this one with the 21st-ranked batting average in the league at .240 as a team and also haven’t slugged at a high level. They come in with a .396 slugging percentage, which is the 18th-best in Major League Baseball.
