Mets vs Yankees Prediction
Fried has been fantastic this season with a 2.13 ERA and 0.94 WHIP, and it’s hard to go against him. However, the Yankees have lost three of Fried’s last four starts due to a lack of run support. The Mets seem to have found their groove back and the offense is rolling. It’s like a series against a rival has woken up their spirits, and they have their swagger back. The Mets have caught fire over the last few days. I’m not a fan of bullpen games, but the Mets have turned things around. I’ll side with the home team for the sweep.
