Published:

- The New York Yankees and New York Mets face off for their Subway Series starting Tuesday and ending Wednesday afternoon.

- See the odds, pitchers and a prediction for Tuesday’s game below.
The New York Mets host the New York Yankees at 7:10 p.m. from Citi Field, looking to keep their impressive hot streak going. The Mets (37-39, 18-23 Home) have won 8 of their last 10 and have their eyes on 2nd place in the NL East sitting behind the Braves and Phillies. Baby Steps.
The Yankees (52-28, 28-14 Away) are heading in the wrong direction after standing atop the league standings at the start of June. They’ve lost 7 of their last 10 and have looked dreadful in the process, falling to the Braves, Orioles and Red Sox in succession.
The Yankees and Mets will play just twice this week, but it’s an important spot. See the odds, starting pitchers and a prediction below.

The Over/Under for this matchup sits at 8.5 according to Caesars, with both sitting at -110 odds. The Mets usually trend towards the under when they’re playing at Citi Field, faring 4-11 against the over as the home underdog and 16-24 across all home games.
The Yankees are near .500 across all games against the over but lean towards the over as the away favorite, sitting at 17-10-2.
Gerrit Cole vs David Peterson
0-0 | Record | 3-0 |
4.50 | ERA | 3.97 |
N/A | xERA | 5.61 |
1`.00 | WHIP | 1.41 |

Gerrit Cole is back, ladies and gentlemen!
The Yankees RHP makes his 2nd start following injury Tuesday following a fair outing against the Baltimore Orioles last Wednesday where he allowed 3 hits and a pair of runs with 5 strikeouts across 4 innings pitched.
There’s not a single Met that has been able to see consistent success off Cole across his career, with Francisco Lindor, JD Martinez and Pete Alonso all struggling. Brandon Nimmo is a fair 2-6 with an RBI.

On the bump for the Mets tonight is David Peterson, who made his return to the lineup last month following a hip injury. The lefty has seen 22 innings of work this season and has rattled off 3 straight wins over the Nationals, Marlins and Rangers.
Peterson has only really faced Juan Soto across the Yankees lineup, and the numbers are in Peterson’s favor. Soto has a .091 batting average with 1 hit in 11 at-bats, including 5 strikeouts and 4 walks.
Subway Series Prediction (June 25)
The Mets are hot right now, but I like Cole more on the mound. New York has looked ugly in their past outings but they’ve been playing some of the best teams in baseball across that stretch. With Cole back and a game into his season, this is the perfect opportunity to right the ship.
The Yankees have struggled at the plate in recent weeks, but they’ve still been able to get on base with a high walk rate. The matchup puts more stress on the leftie this time around.
Trends lean towards the over here, especially since the Yankees have the advantage on the mound and more firepower at the plate. Regardless, I’m not sure I like it enough to play.
NYY vs. NYM pick: Yankees -1.5 (+115)
