The New York Yankees and New York Mets face off in a highly anticipated matchup, with both teams playing exceptional baseball this season. The total is set at eight runs, with strong pitching expected from both sides.

Jordan Montgomery (3-2, 3.24 ERA) takes the mound for the Yankees after their recent 2-1 series win against Baltimore. While effective overall, Montgomery's 13 home runs allowed this season could be concerning against the Mets' power hitters like Pete Alonso.

The Mets counter with Taijuan Walker (7-2, 2.55 ERA), who has been remarkably consistent and particularly effective at preventing home runs, allowing just four this season. The Mets enter after losing two of three to San Diego, though their offense showed signs of life with eight runs in their last game.

Over/Under Trends:

• Mets: 47-41-8 (53.4%) to the over in 2022
• Yankees: 48-47-2 (50.5%) to the over in 2022

This marks the first meeting between these teams in 2022. With strong pitching matchups and reliable bullpens on both sides, expect a close, potentially low-scoring game where late-inning relief pitching could prove decisive.
