New York Yankees Vs. New York Mets Picks & Prediction
Offensively, the Yankees are scoring 5.36 runs per nine innings, first overall in MLB. They have a team batting average of .246, 12th in the league, and their OPS is .776, first in baseball. New York’s (A) pitching staff is allowing 3.30 runs per nine innings, second in MLB with opponents’ batting .217 with an OPS of .632 against the club, third in the big leagues in both categories.
The Mets are averaging 4.70 runs per nine innings, seventh overall in MLB. They have a team batting average of .252, eighth in the league, and their OPS is .718, 12th in baseball. New York’s (N) pitching staff is allowing 3.83 runs per nine innings, fourth in MLB with opponents’ batting .233, sixth in the majors with an OPS of .674 against the club, sixth in the big leagues.
This past weekend Aaron Judge carried the Yankees as he blasted three home runs and drove in eight runs in the three-game series against the Orioles. The Mets bats were quiet in the weekend series vs. the Padres scoring only two runs combined in the first two games but scored eight runs on Sunday in the series finale against San Diego. Pete Alonso delivered the biggest blow of the game, smashing a three-run homer in the sixth inning of the win. I’m going to go with the Mets as a 1.5 run underdog to their rivals from the Bronx as the clubs combine for under eight runs.
