Mets vs Yankees prediction

Although the New York Mets outscored the Yankees in the first game of the series, that situation is an anomaly. This season, the Yankees' 406 runs compares very favorably to the 363 scored by the Mets.

Moreover, although the Mets out-homered their crosstown rivals on Wednesday, the Yankees have hit about 1.4 home runs per game, compared to the 1.22 logged by the Mets.

Like most games, this might come down to pitching, where the Yankees again claim the edge. Luis Gil struggled in his last start but touts much better seasonal numbers than Manaea.

Prediction: New York Yankees 1.5 (150)
