Yankees vs Mets Prediction
The current betting odds have the Mets listed as a favorite in this game. The Yankees have been playing better in their recent games as they won 2 of their 3 against the Orioles while the Mets have come out of the All-Star break slow, just winning their last game with a nice offensive showing. The Mets have not been scoring a lot of runs recently other than their last game, but they will not need many runs here to win with their starter on the mound. They have Scherzer starting here and he has been great all season but also throughout his entire career and he is one of those pitchers that can just shut down any lineup when he is at his best. He will be well rested for this game and even though the Yankees have been scoring runs recently, Scherzer has kept most of his starts very low scoring games this season and he will give the Yankees trouble in this game. The Yankees have shown that they struggle to hit against good pitching staffs like when they play the Astros, and Scherzer will be able to shut them down here. The Mets finally scored a lot of runs in their last game but that will continue at home here with German pitching for the Yankees. German is coming off of an injury that has kept him out for over a year. He just pitched in his first start of the season against the Astros and he did not pitch well at all. He is not fully back in his groove yet after all of that missed time and the Mets should be able to score runs on him here. The best way to place a bet here is on the Mets to win this game.

Notable Quotes
"It's always big to win a series. You don't take that for granted whether you're in a hot streak like we've been at times this year or you're struggling a little bit. Series wins are not to be taken lightly." - Aaron Judge after their win against the Orioles on Sunday.
“You can't hit a five-run homer and you can't hit a four-run single. Sometimes you want something too much, and something like that might let you kind of get back into the flow of who you are.” - Buck Showalter after his team’s win against the Padres on Sunday.
