Mets vs. Yankees prediction
The New York Mets will be sending Griffin Canning to the mound on Saturday afternoon, and he has pitched well this season. Canning has gone 5-1 with a 2.36 ERA this season, but he is facing a great lineup in this game.
Francisco Lindor leads the team with nine home runs, and Pete Alonso has driven in 36 runs this season. The Mets still need Juan Soto to figure things out at the plate if they want to go on a run.
Aaron Judge just continues to deliver for the New York Yankees as he has 15 home runs and 41 RBIs. Judge doesn't always get a ton of help on offense, but he can carry the team for a long stretch.
Clarke Schmidt will be pitching for the New York Yankees, and he has gone 1-1 with a 4.73 ERA this season. Schmidt will do his job in this game as the Yankees get a big win.
