The New York Yankees will for two in a row against their subway rival, the New York Mets, in Game 2 of their series on Saturday at Yankee Stadium.

The Yankees are now 4-1 in their last five games, and this includes the morale-boosting win over the Mets 6-2 on Friday. Once again, the Yankees dealt the most damage from the mound. Starter Carlos Rodon pitched for 5 innings, allowing 1 earned run and striking out 5. The Yankees' bullpen, which is giving up a 1.35 ERA over their last five games, blanked the Mets over the last four innings to get their team the victory. The Yankees improved their record to 26-18, five games clear of their closest rival, the Boston Red Sox, who are 22-24.

The Mets have absorbed back-to-back games, but the loss to the Yankees is without the more painful one since it’s all about bragging right in this fascinating series between New York rivals. The Mets are also at the top of their division with a 28-17 record. They are pitching an outstanding 2.84 ERA and batting .253, making them a two-way juggernaut in the MLB this season.

Our New York Yankees vs New York Mets Prediction

Fearless Forecast: Mets, Yankees tussle it up in a low-scoring Game 2

The Under at 9.5 total runs really looks appetizing now that we know who will be the starting pitchers for both teams. The Yankees will send Clark Schmidt (4.72 ERA), who has guided his team to 4 wins in his last 5 starts. The Mets counter with Griffin Canning (2.36 ERA), who has been virtually unhittable over his last five starts. Although the Yankees are averaging 6.5 runs per game over their last five assignments, the team hasn’t scored more than 3 runs in each of their last three games when facing Canning. Meanwhile, the Mets are posting barely 4 runs per game in their last 5 games. The total has gone UNDER in 4 of the NY Mets' last 5 games on the road and 10 of the NY Yankees' last 13 games at home.
