Mets vs Yankees Odds, Betting Lines, Spread & Score Prediction

Barring an unlikely matchup in the World Series, the 2024 Subway Series between the Mets and Yankees concludes for this season on Wednesday night from the Bronx with an ESPN national TV game and the Yanks favored on the MLB odds behind ace Gerrit Cole.

New York Mets Moneyline +137

Mets on the Season

The Mets were a season-low 11 games under .500 on June 2 (24-35) but have been one of the best teams in baseball since.

First-year Mets manager Carlos Mendoza spent 15 years in the Yankees system, serving most recently as the team’s bench coach.

Last Game Review

Star shortstop Francisco Lindor entered Tuesday’s series opener having a very nice July after two solo homers and a steal in Monday’s win in Miami.

The 30-year-old registered his second multi-home run game of the season while adding his 20th stolen base for good measure.

Homers

Only the Padres and Orioles have more with seven players. Last year, the Mets featured eight players with 10 or more home runs, tied for the third-most in franchise history.

Nimmo’s nine steals already have tied a career high. Alonso’s 50 home runs against the American League are a franchise record, and the most among any player since he entered the league in 2019.

Logan Porter

On Tuesday, the Mets made a roster move in signing catcher Porter to a one-year contract.

Porter joins New York’s active roster as a backup catching option behind young stalwart Francisco Alvarez.

Sean Manaea on the Hill

Left-handed pitcher Manaea took the loss after allowing five runs in five innings against the Mets last Friday.

Despite a strong first inning, he struggled to keep Miami off the bases, giving up hits and walks in every other inning.

Manaea has a .229 average against batters on his sinker this season, throwing it 39.7% of the time.

His sinker has a run value of 11, tied for 2nd best in the majors, with 34 strikeouts.

New York Yankees Moneyline -161

Top Players

This duo from the Yankees is only the second pair in over 80 years to reach base over 192 times in the team’s first 102 games of a season.

Soto’s recent multi-home run game tied him with Eddie Mathews for the second-most at his age.

Injuries to Consider

The Yankees remain without first baseman Anthony Rizzo, DH Giancarlo Stanton and catcher Jose Trevino, all on the injured list.

Stanton has been out with a strained left hamstring but Manager Aaron Boone said recently that the slugger “is in a pretty good spot” in terms of his progress and indicated that a return is a matter of building stamina.

Stanton won’t play in this series but perhaps will be activated this weekend.

Trevino sustained a Grade 2 strain in his left hamstring July 12, but he has been progressing well since.

Austin Wells should continue to serve as the Yankees’ clear No. 1 catcher while Trevino is on the shelf.

Rizzo is still weeks away. Rookie Ben Rice has done nice work filling in for Rizzo at first base.

Gerrit Cole on the Hill

Ace right-handed pitcher Cole pitched a solid game, earning his third win of the season last Friday against Tampa Bay.

Cole allowed only one run on six hits and struck out eight batters over six innings.

He had an impressive 16 swinging strikes and has recorded at least seven strikeouts in his last three games.

Despite giving up a solo home run, Cole only allowed three hard-hit balls and continues to maintain strong statistics including a 10.43 strikeout per nine innings ratio.

Cole will make his second start in the Subway Series this season.

He had his worst outing the first time around on June 25 in a loss, allowing season-highs in earned runs (6), hits (7) home runs (4) and didn’t record a single strikeout, only the second time in his career he’s failed to do so.

Cole is now 2-6 with a 6.64 ERA in eight career appearances vs. the Mets.
