The New York Yankees fell again on Tuesday after dropping the series opener against the New York Mets. As they take on their crosstown rivals in Game 2, they hope to split the series and avoid a sweep like earlier in the season at Citi Field.
Just as when it seemed like the Yanks were picking up the pace, they seem to have fallen two steps behind. Despite taking the lead in Game 1, they were unable to score more than 2, surrendering three runs to the Mets. Yankees manager Aaron Boone will send their ace Gerrit Cole to save this series on Wednesday. Cole has a 3-1 record with a 4.60 ERA since his return from injury.
The Mets are 2.5 games behind the Braves in the NL East. With consistent success, they could make a postseason run. The Mets have already defeated the Yanks previous in the Subway Series before the All-Star break.
Trending
While they hope to record another sweep, Sean Manaea will be delivered to the mound as their starter. Manaea has a 6-4 record with a 3.73 ERA. The southpaw has 97 strikeouts in 101-plus innings pitched. Manaea will need help from the offense, especially with Cole on the mound as his opponent.

Where to watch the Yankees vs. Mets?
Game 2 can be watched on ESPN while the online stream can be watched on Fubo TV and MLB TV. The first pitch is scheduled to go out at 7:05 PM EDT.
Yankees vs. Mets Prediction
The Bronx Bombers have their best pitcher on the mound. Cole has always delivered in the most crucial moments and is expected to do the same here. The reigning Cy Young Winner is expected to get some early strikeouts and last for a minimum of six innings. However, the Yanks must open up their offense.
The offense has been erratic, especially in the last few weeks. Aaron Judge and Juan Soto seem to be carrying the load for this team. The Yanks have failed to score in several games with the bases loaded.
Manaea will need to put up a strong performance right from the start. The Mets will need to take advantage of the Yanks bullpen if they plan on winning. However, the odds are against them in Game 2.
Prediction: New York Yankees -1.5 (-175)
