Scherzer to Dominate

The New York Yankees host the New York Mets as the subway series kicks off on August 22nd at 7:05 pm. This will be the third time these two teams play against each other in the regular season. The Mets have won both times they have played and will look to take a 3-0 lead in the series. However, this will be the first game that the Yankees will be at home and will try to take advantage and make this series more competitive. Caesars Casino & Sportsbook has the match result odds at -170 Mets and +143 Yankees. Additionally, the over/under total runs for the game is set at 7.0 with the over being -130 and under being +110.

The New York Mets are currently 79-44 and are the first seed in the NL East. Over their last 10 games, they are 6-4. They are coming off a series against the Phillies where they won two of the three games they played. In this game against the Yankees, the Mets will have pitcher Max Scherzer take the mound for them. Scherzer has been dominant this season with a record of 9-2. He currently has an ERA of 2.15 and a WHIP of 0.93. The Mets will need their batters to do their job if they want to win this game. When a pitcher like Scherzer is playing, it makes the game a lot easier as he will be giving the Yankees a hard time. Players like Francisco Lindor, Jeff McNeil, Starling Marte, and Pete Alonso will need to have good performances in this game if they want to win. All four of these players have over 120 hits on the season and will need to put the ball in play for the team to find success.

The New York Yankees are currently 74-48 and are the first seed in the AL East. Over their last 10 games, they are 3-7. After starting off great earlier this season, they have slowed down and currently have the second-best record in the American League. After losing to the Mets twice earlier this season, the Yankees need to win this game to give them confidence for the remainder of the regular season. They will have pitcher Domingo German take the mound for them. He has a record of 1-2 on the season and has an ERA of 4.45 and a WHIP of 1.41. This game will be a challenge for German as the Mets are in third place for the most hits on the season with 1081. Fortunately for the Yankees, they rank number 1 around the league for the most amount of home runs with 197. They also have the home run leader in Aaron Judge and will need him to find success in this game if they want to have a chance of winning.

I think the Mets will have full control of this game and should end up winning. Scherzer will dominate in this game and will shut down the Yankees. Domingo German is no match for Scherzer and this game will probably feature a lot of Mets players recording hits while the Yankees will struggle to hit the ball. Both teams need their players to play their best baseball if they want to win this game and change the narrative of the Subway Series. If the Mets win, they win the regular season series and if the Yankees win, they have an opportunity to tie the series in their next game.
