Last night, Max Scherzer got booed off the mound after allowing six runs in three innings. Justin Verlander, who’s pitching tonight for the New York Mets, has already heard the boos from the home fans. The future Hall of Famer is also coming off his worst start in a Mets uniform, where he allowed seven hits and five runs in only three innings. Will the veteran bounce back and defeat the Yankees, or will Gerrit Cole continue to dominate this Mets’ lineup?

New York Mets vs. New York Yankees Prediction
Gerrit Cole has solid numbers against the entirety of this Mets’ lineup. Besides Tommy Pham, who may not even be playing tonight, the rest of this Mets team has terrible numbers against Cole. I’m still trying to figure out why the New York Yankees opened up as the underdog in this matchup…
The public is all over the Yankees with Cole on the bump. More than 75% of bets and the handle are currently backing the Yankees on the moneyline. The Mets have won one game in their last ten, but Verlander is the favorite tonight after his atrocious start last week? Something seems off with this line, and it’s making me want to bet on the Mets.
Buck Showalter is on the hot seat. The veteran coach hasn’t been able to corral the team together and get them back on track, and if they don’t turn it around soon, the Mets could make a midseason move similar to what the Philadelphia Phillies did last year before their run to the World Series.
If Verlander and the Mets don’t win this game tonight, there’s a chance Buck won’t be coaching his team this weekend. With their backs against the wall, expect Verlander and Buck to bounce back tonight after a brutal week.
The Mets tonight are the nastiest, most contrarian spot on the MLB slate tonight. This wager isn’t for the faint of heart, but with Gerrit Cole opening up an underdog in this matchup, we are left with no choice. Fade the public and back the Mets to get back on track with Verlander on the bump.
