New York Yankees vs. New York Mets Best Bets

AL-Leading Yankees Limp into Citi Field

The Subway Series renews Tuesday (7:10 p.m. ET) as the New York Mets open a two-game series against the rival New York Yankees at Citi Field. Gerrit Cole, making just his second start off the injured list because of right elbow inflammation, is slated to oppose David Peterson.

The Yankees (52-28) own the most wins in baseball, though they are just 3-7 over the last 10 games. Injuries have continued to crop up, this time to their potent lineup. Designated hitter Giancarlo Stanton (left hamstring strain) and first baseman Anthony Rizzo (arm fracture) both recently hit the IL, forcing manager Aaron Boone to shuffle the order.

The Mets (37-39), meanwhile, find themselves back in postseason contention after a tough May. Winners of 13 of their last 17 games, they’re 1.0 game out of the final National League wild card spot.

New York, which has been below .500 since May 7 (18-18), returns home after a 4-2 road trip against the Rangers and Cubs.

Yankees at Mets Betting Lines

BetUS betting line: Yankees -140 ML

The New York Mets bats have been hot, but they face a stern test in Cole. The reigning AL Cy Young winner looked good in his first start off the IL and is due for a larger workload after being limited to 62 pitches his last time out.

Thus, we’re siding with the more proven commodity in our MLB picks today.

MyBookie Betting line: Under  7.5 Runs -110

While the enigmatic Peterson has been prone to blow-ups, the Yankees are hitting just .235 with a .699 OPS against left-handers. If he doesn’t let Judge beat him, Peterson should be able to navigate a banged-up lineup and keep it close for this Yankees vs Mets best bet.

Bookmaker Betting line: Yankees -140 ML

Again, we’re banking on Cole ramping back into form and cooling down the Mets. They have scored 52 runs over their last seven games (average of 7.4), though few can match Cole’s dominance.
On top of that, the Yankees have a more advantageous matchup in Peterson. The left-hander has danced in and out of trouble this season, as evidenced by his 1.41 WHIP.

Yankees at Mets Recent Trends

The Yankees went 2-4 on their last homestand against Baltimore and Atlanta. Their pitching was hit particularly hard, allowing 38 runs in those six games. That includes a 17-5 loss to the Orioles on June 20, the most runs they’ve given up this season.

The Mets, meanwhile, concluded their 4-2 road trip with a 5-2 victory over the Cubs. The win came at a cost, though, as star closer Edwin Diaz was ejected before throwing a pitch because of sticky substances. Diaz is facing a 10-game suspension.

Be sure to keep that in mind when making your New York MLB sports bets.
