New York Mets vs New York Yankees 7/26/2023 Tips, Odds, and Analysis
This next Wednesday in the Bronx at 7:05 PM ET, Anthony Volpe and the New York Mets will take on the New York Yankees at Yankee Stadium. The New York Mets enter their matchup with the New York Yankees on the back of a convincing 9-3 win against the Yankees yesterday.
Even though the New York Mets possessed one of, if not the best, baseball rosters, they had a terrible season. As the league opens its second half following the all-star break, all eyes are on the Mets because they have World Series hopes and have the potential to win one. The Mets have a record of 47-53 overall, which puts them in fourth place in the NL East.
Edwin Diaz, the New York Mets’ tragic closer, tore his anterior cruciate ligament as the team was celebrating a victory in the World Baseball Classic, which gave the season a bad start for the team. It was a warning for a team that was anticipated to compete for the World Series crown this season. Since then, the Mets have struggled throughout the season due to the key players’ extended absences. They came into this brief series having lost two straight games to the Red Sox in Boston, including a 6-1 loss on Sunday night. On Tuesday night against the Yankees, Pete Alonso excelled for the Mets and contributed to their triumph. Alonso blasted two home runs and contributed five RBIs as the Mets overcame their nearby rivals.
New York has walked 328 times while being called out on strikes 784 times, for a slugging percentage of 399. They have 776 hits this season, a batting average 0.237, and 426 RBIs. One hundred thirty doubles were recorded by the Mets, who collectively hit 123 baseballs out of the park. They have a.317 on-base percentage and 438 total runs scored. The Mets score 4.4 runs per game, which ranks them 18th in the MLB.
The pitching staff has a 2.38 strikeout-to-walk ratio and a combined WHIP 1.35. The Mets’ pitchers allowed 455 runs overall and 129 home runs, which placed them 17th in the league. The Mets allowed 811 base hits and 423 earned runs (8.5 per nine innings). The NY Mets were ranked 20th in the league after facing 851 batters with a combined earned run average of 4.41.

New York Mets vs New York Yankees 7/26/2023 Tips, Odds, and Analysis
The New York Yankees will play José Quintana and the New York Mets today after suffering a humbling 9-3 loss to the New York Mets yesterday. Despite the defeat, the New York Yankees have still won four of their previous five games.
The New York Yankees have dominated in the past, and this season is no different. The Yankees are the only club in Major League Baseball where the last-place team has a winning record because they are earlier in their division. Since Aaron Judge will return later this week, anticipate the Yankees to string together several noteworthy victories.
The Yankees underperformed throughout the season, much like their Queens counterparts, due to poor play and injuries. While competing with Boston for the last AL East spot, New York still plays without several crucial players, including starter Nestor Cortes, 2022 AL MVP Aaron Judge, and other important players. Both Giancarlo Stanton and DJ LeMahieu have given the team below-average performance. To halt a four-game losing slide, the Yankees swept the Royals over the weekend in the Bronx. The Yankees lineup managed just five hits in the night’s opening game between the Mets and Yankees, which the Mets won 9-3.
The Yankees will send southpaw Carlos Rodon on Wednesday night. Similar to how Quintana was with the Mets, Rodon was signed by the Yankees to be an essential member of their starting rotation. However, he has missed the entire season. Rodon has made three starts since leaving the injury list, and he is now 0-3 in those games. Over 14.2 innings and 12 hits, his ERA was 7.36. Rodon’s K/9 rate is now 6.8, and his WHIP is 1.43.
New York Mets vs. the New York Yankees. The New York Mets are the MLB Pick for this game. This game will be nothing short of an all-out battle as the New York Mets are pushing hard for the postseason, and the New York Yankees are doing everything they can to move up in the AL East. The offense won’t be in short supply in this game, and the total will probably be far exceeded. I predict a 7-5 victory for the New York Mets.
