The New York Yankees refused to give up the series to the Tampa Bay Rays, as they fought hard to tie the four-game series 2-2. The Bronx Bombers opened their offense and scored nine runs, restricting the Rays to just one.
While the offense had an incredible run, Carlos Rodon's spectacular outing helped the team prevail. Rodon had 10 strikeouts, increasing his record to 10-7.
The Yanks will meet their crosstown rival at the Subway series at Yankee Stadium. Luis Gil will get the nod in Game 1. Gil had a few rough patches but he seems to be picking up the pace. With a 10-5 record and a 3.17 ERA, Gil is expected to get some early strikeouts in this game.
The Mets will try to repeat their last success against their rival, but the Yanks are keen on getting revenge this time. The Mets defeated the Marlins in their last game with a 6-4 final score.
The NL East competition is tough, with the Phillies and the Braves in the first two spots. Qualifying for the playoffs is a tough shot for the team unless they pick up the pace soon.
Jose Quintana will be sent to the mound in Game 1. Quintana's 2024 season has not been great, with a 4-6 record and a 4.13 ERA. The Mets need offensive help if they want to win.

Yankees vs. Mets Prediction
Gil has been promising in his last outing and after the offense showed up against the Rays, the Bronx Bombers have a chance here. Aaron Boone and his team do not want to lose the series for the second time to the Mets in 2024.
The Yanks have the numbers on their side and a dominant pitcher to help them. The offense has Aaron Judge and Juan Soto at their best to help them progress. The odds favor the Yanks to win Game 1.
Prediction: New York Yankees -1.5 (-160)
