New York vs New York Stats

New York Yankees

The New York Yankees, who were leading the AL East Division for the majority of the first half of the season, have recently faced a setback with four consecutive losses, resulting in them falling to second place. After being swept by the Blue Jays, the Yankees are now preparing to face the New York Mets in the Subway Series. Lefty Carlos Rodon will be starting for the Yankees and has a strong record this season. The team's roster is facing key injuries with SP Luis Gil and SP Ryan Yarbrough sidelined. Despite their recent struggles, the Yankees remain a strong offensive team, scoring an average of 5.12 runs per game and have a solid defense, allowing an average of 3.92 runs against them. The team currently holds a record of 48-39 and is ranked 14th in power rankings.

New York Mets Analysis

The New York Mets are currently facing a challenging stretch, trailing the Phillies in the NL East standings. Despite recent setbacks, the Mets managed to secure their 50th win of the season against the Brewers, led by impressive performances from David Peterson and Brandon Nimmo. Looking ahead to their series against the Yankees, the Mets will aim to avenge their earlier loss and close the gap with the Phillies in the division race. Frankie Montas is set to start for the Mets in the upcoming game, hoping to improve upon his previous outings after recovering from injury. With a strong offense and a solid defense, the Mets remain competitive as they strive for success in the season.

Yankees Have Clear Advantage Against Mets with Rodon on the Mound

The New York Yankees have a clear advantage with Rodon pitching on the mound. Rodon has shown stronger performance away from home this season, boasting an impressive 1.00 WHIP. Additionally, he has a superior strikeout per nine innings rate and a lower earned run average while on the road. In contrast, the Mets will be relying on Montas, who is coming off a challenging outing in his last start. Facing a motivated Yankees team looking to regain their position in the AL East standings, Montas is expected to encounter difficulties on the mound. The Yankees have fared well in day games this season and are likely to exploit Montas' weaknesses at bat. With Rodon expected to stifle the Mets' lineup, who have struggled against left-handed pitchers, the Yankees are poised for success. Given their strong record against right-handed pitchers and impressive home run count, the Yankees are a favorable choice with the money line.
