New York Mets (Stroman) vs. New York Yankees (Cole)
Gerrit Cole is pitching for the Yankees, so a win is guaranteed, right? While he is 8-4, the Yankees record with Cole on the mound is 8-8. His record in his last three starts is 1-0-1, with an ERA of 5.22.
And he is coming off his worst start of the season.
For the Mets, Stroman has been a paragon of success and consistency. At 6-6, with an ERA of 2.45, his biggest concern has been the lack of run support that has plagued him for years. He has struggled in his last 3 starts with hip soreness, limiting the length of his starts. He has also just returned from bereavement leave.
On Saturday, the Yankees lost their sixth of seven games, the Mets scored more than 4 runs for the first time in 8 games (and cost me the Under), and hallelujah, Lindor went 2 for 4.
The wager.
Two very good starters, though it is possible neither is at his best. I am betting on the Mets. A word to the Mets. Score some runs for Stroman for a change; the man just lost his Grandma.. Take the Mets +1 1/2.
