<h2>Mets-Yankees MLB Betting Preview</h2>
<p>The Yankees grabbed the first game of this series Monday night, 4-2. The Pinstripes scored all four of their runs off Mets starter Max Scherzer while getting a quality outing from starter Domingo German on their way to victory.</p>
<p>The Yanks won as +140 underdogs Monday night and the game played under a total of 7.5 runs.</p>
<p>With Monday's win, the Yankees are 4-6 over their last ten games, although they've been struggling for longer than that. At 75-48 overall, the Yanks' lead in the AL East still sits at a comfortable eight games over second-place Tampa Bay, but they also now trail Houston by three games in the battle for the best record in the American League.</p>
<p>With Monday's loss, the Mets are 4-3 over their last seven games. At 79-45, they lead second-place Atlanta by three games in the NL East.</p>
<p>This series is the second meeting between these teams this season; back a month ago, the Mets swept two games from the Yanks at Citi Field.</p>
<h2>Tuesday's Pitching Match-Up</h2>
<p><a class="advblue" href="https://www.sportsbettingstats.com/mlb/pitcherlog/70849&quot; title="Frankie Montas Pitching Game Stats">Montas</a> is 10/22 on quality starts this season but 0 for three for his new team. Last Thursday, he got touched by Toronto for six runs and eight hits through six innings of a 9-2 New York loss. And over his three starts for the Yankees, he's allowed 14 runs and 18 hits through 14 innings.</p>
<p>Oakland, a team that's 33 games under .500 this season, played 5-14 with Montas this year, but that was as much as six or seven games worse than they should've been, based on his performances. But New York is 0-3 with him, and he can take a good part of the blame for that.</p>
<p>This will be Montas' first career start against the Mets.</p>
<p><a class="advblue" href="https://www.sportsbettingstats.com/mlb/pitcherlog/48972&quot; title="Taijuan Walker Pitching Game Logs">Walker</a> is 9/21 on quality starts this season. Last time out, one week ago against Atlanta, Walker tossed two scoreless innings, then left the game with a sore back. He then had his next start pushed back a couple of days. So he may be on a short leash Tuesday night.</p>
<p>The Mets are 12-9 with Walker this season, and that's probably a game worse than they should be, based on his performances.</p>
<p>Over his last three starts against the Yankees, two last year and one earlier this season, Walker allowed ten runs and 15 hits, including six home runs, through 17 2/3 innings. The Mets won two of those three games, and all three games played over on the totals.</p>
<h2>Splits With the Sticks</h2>
<p>The Mets are batting an ML-best .266 against right-handed pitching this season, with a .334 team OBP and a .422 team slugging percentage. Numbers like those lead us to rank this line-up among the top three in Baseball in this split.</p>
<p>The Yankees are slashing .238/.323/.419 against right-handed pitching. The Yanks have also scored a total of 24 runs over their last ten games, and eight of those came in one game!</p>
<h2>The Bullpens</h2>
<p>The Yankees bullpen owns an ML-best 3.00 ERA this season, along with a 1.15 WHIP.</p>
<p>The Mets pen owns a 3.65 ERA and a 1.24 WHIP.<br />
