Yankees vs Mets Prediction
The Yankees are going to be favored because they’re the Yankees, and it doesn’t hurt to see Rodon on the mound. I get it. We’ve also made a killing blindly fading the Mets all season. However, we’re getting plus money with McLean on the mound. McLean has been strong through 161.2 innings with a 3.06 ERA and 1.14 WHIP. McLean has allowed 9 earned runs in his last 36 innings. In 76 innings on the road, McLean has a 2.49 ERA and a .177 allowed batting average. I’ll take a shot with the plus money in this Subway Series opener.
