The Mets are coming into this game with a 51-48 record this season and they have been playing better in their recent games. They came out of the break and lost 2 of their 4 games against the Marlins though and the Marlins are one of the worst teams in the league right now. They are going up against a Yankees team that is 60-42 this season and they have been playing much better in their recent games, now just 1.5 games behind the Orioles in 1st place of their division. The Yankees came out of the break and only won 2 of their 4 games against the Rays, but their offense was much better in that series and they are coming off of a game which they scored 9 runs in. Luis Gil is starting for the Yankees in this game and he is 10-5 with a 3.17 ERA this season. He has been having a great season so far and he did go through a bit of a rough stretch right before the All Star break, but he has pitched much better in his last 2 starts. He has allowed just 2 earned runs total in his last 2 starts, pitching at least 6 innings in each, and he also had 7+ strikeouts in each of those as well. The Mets offense has been very inconsistent from game to game and this will be one that they struggle in. Jose Quintana is starting for the Mets in this game and he is 4-6 with a 4.13 ERA this season. He has been pitching well this season but he allowed 5 earned runs in his last start and that was against the Rockies who have been one of the worst teams in the league all season with one of the worst offenses as well. Quintana will be vulnerable to allowing some runs in this game as he has not been pitching many shutouts this season and with the Yankees offense starting to play much better now, they will find a way to win this game. The Yankees will win this game.
