Yankees vs Mets predictions
Yankees fans have got to be hoping for a big night out of their lineup, especially with the team hungry to snap that frustrating five-game road skid. All eyes once again land on Aaron Judge, who’s been torching MLB pitching all year—don’t be surprised if he logs another multi-hit night with at least one ball leaving Citi Field. Cody Bellinger is another guy who’s been quietly effective; he should rack up a couple of hits and might just swipe a bag if the situation’s right. DJ LeMahieu hasn’t exactly been lighting it up, but he’s steady as ever, so pencil him in for a single or two. And hey, with Carlos Rodon on the mound, expect him to pitch deep and limit the Mets’ damage—six solid innings and around six Ks feels about right.
Turning to the Mets, they’ve got their own hot hands looking to keep the Subway Series energy rolling. Pete Alonso isn’t a player you want to leave a mistake pitch anywhere near—he looks like he’s in line for another big swing, perhaps even a long ball and a couple of key RBIs. Juan Soto’s always a threat at the plate and should get on base a few times with his usual mix of power and patience. Francisco Lindor can be streaky but this feels like one of those nights where he causes some serious havoc on the basepaths and maybe sneaks in a clutch RBI. Frankie Montas taking the hill for the Mets means they’ll have a shot if he works around the heart of the Yankees’ order and keeps the walks in check.
So, how’s it all going to play out under the Citi Field lights? The Yankees are in a bit of a funk on the road, but this feels like the matchup where they finally flip the script. With Judge locked in, Rodon looking to prove himself, and some under-the-radar lineup contributions, New York’s AL squad has the edge. It might stay close, especially with Alonso and Soto eager to make the Mets faithful happy, but if you’re betting on momentum swinging back, tonight just feels like a Yankees night. What’s your gut say—are you riding with the Bronx Bombers to break the curse, or do the Mets keep rolling at home?
