New York Mets DFS Spin
Mets second baseman Jeff McNeil got the big hit in his club’s 3-2 win over the Yankees on Tuesday. In that contest, the left-handed hitter went 2 for 3 with a go-ahead homer, 2 RBIs, 2 runs scored, and a walk. McNeil has had a tough year overall (.225 batting average, .640 OPS) but he’s been hitting better lately. In the past 15 days, Jeff McNeil is batting .281 with 3 homers, 10 RBIs, and a .990 OPS. McNeil’s current hot streak means he could have some DFS value on Wednesday.
New York Yankees DFS Spin
Yankees second baseman Gleyber Torres drove in half of his team’s runs in their 3-2 loss to the Mets on Tuesday. In that contest, the right-handed hitter from Venezuela went 1 for 3 with a homer, an RBI, a run scored, and a walk. For the season, Torres is batting .230 with 9 homers, 36 RBIs, and an OPS of .658. Gleyber Torres is hitting .290 with a .711 OPS over the past 15 days, making him an intriguing DFS option against Mets lefty Sean Manaea on Wednesday.

Mets vs. Yankees Betting Prediction
Yankees ace Gerrit Cole is officially back. Cole didn’t make his first start until June 19th of this season after dealing with an elbow injury. He then struggled when he did pitch, posting an ERA of 6.23 in 3 June starts. Cole has been much better since. In 3 July starts, Gerrit Cole has an ERA of 3.31, a strikeout-to-walk ratio of 23-4, and a WHIP of 1.35. Cole last faced these same Mets on June 25th and got rocked for 6 earned runs over 4 innings. I like the former Cy Young Award winner to perform much better against New York’s National League team on Wednesday. I’m taking the Yankees on the money line at home in this one.
