Prediction published on 6/26/24, 3:19 PM  by Carlos Zabala in MLB Picks

In front of 42,000 people, the subway series started in New York. With Mets and Yankees totally antagonistic in general and in the present. Yankees face their first crisis in a dream season, they have lost 3 series in a row against direct and classic rivals such as the Red Sox, Orioles and Braves, and they started by losing game 1 9-7 against the Mets. The starting pitching is unrecognizable at this moment, Gil and Rodon who had exquisite seasons failed in their last starts and Cole, returning from injury, also failed, allowing 4 HRs against the Mets and a delighted fan base. Yankees have a 7.36 ERA for starters and a 6.25 ERA for relievers in their last 10 games. Also on offense they have a decrease in Hits averaging only 6.9 and they struck out 12 times. Between Verdugo and Torres they went 0 for 8 with 4 strikeouts.

The Mets are going through a completely opposite moment, they are now 1 game away from the wild card position and almost all the players are hitting HRs in a furious offensive streak. 2.1 HR per game for Mets in the last 10 games and Vientos hit 2 HR in game 1. Yankees will face Manea with a high ERA of 4.16 with the mission of regaining confidence knowing that they still lead the MLB in many categories.
