Yankees vs Mets Prediction
The Mets and the plus money is attractive given they’re one of the best teams in baseball. The problem is the Mets have lost five of their last six games with Megill on the hill, and he’s allowed 11 hits and eight runs in his last 9.2 innings. On the road, Megill has a 4.22 ERA compared to his 1.86 ERA at home. Rodon has allowed zero earned runs in three of his last five starts, and he’s allowed a combined six earned runs in his last 31.2 innings. Rodon is averaging more than a strikeout per inning and is allowing a .171 batting average on the year. Give me the Yankees and the reasonable price given the starting pitching edge.
