Yankees at Mets picks and predictions

Prediction

Mets 5, Yankees 4

Moneyline

The METS (+132) are 4-1 over their last 5 home games against the Yankees. They’ve clocked a robust .888 OPS en route to scoring 6.55 runs per game since June 12.

With Cole making just his 2nd start off the IL and with the home nine having much the better bullpen of late, BACK THE METS (+132).

Over/Under

The Over has cashed in 6 of the last 8 Yanks-Mets games at Citi Field.

Tag Cole and the Yankee bullpen with some fade lean. Add some uncertainty for Peterson who is starting on long rest (career .784 OPS allowed on 6 or more days of rest).

The weather forecast calls for a warm night with a batter’s breeze.

BACK THE OVER 8.5 (+100).
