New York Yankees vs. New York Mets: Picks, Predictions, Odds and Player Props

The 2025 MLB season rolls on this weekend with an interleague Subway Series showdown between the New York Yankees and New York Mets on Saturday at Citi Field.

Both of these teams were expected to be among the World Series contenders heading into this season and, while both teams got off to strong starts in the first two months of the campaign, things have gone south over the last month.

Neither of these teams is playing all that well heading into this contest, with the Yankees now sitting in second place in the AL East, while the Mets are just 6-14 over their last 20 games played in the NL East.

The hosts got off to a winning start in Friday's series opener, with the Mets rallying from multiple deficits to pull out a 6-5 victory and hand the Yankees a fifth straight loss. 

Saturday's matchup is one that features an interesting clash of inconsistent starting pitchers against a pair of lineups that have the capability to put up runs.

Will the Yankees steal the second game of the series on the road, or will the Mets clinch a much-needed series victory at Citi Field? Let's get into the odds, plus our expert’s betting picks and predictions for this contest.

New York Yankees vs. New York Mets betting picks and predictions

Yankees moneyline (-150)

With both teams struggling mightily over the last month, a clear winner is tough to find on Saturday. However, even after a demoralizing loss in the series opener, our expert believes that the Yankees are the rightful favorites on the road.

Not only have the Yankees fallen out of first place in the division, but they are now a full two games back of Toronto Blue Jays.

The offense looked a bit better on Friday, with home runs from Aaron Judge and Cody Bellinger, along with a pair of homers from rookie outfielder Jason Dominguez.

With Carlos Rodon on the mound for New York, the Yankees should have enough going in their favor to break their losing streak.

Our expert doesn't have the same assurances with the Mets, especially with Frankie Montas on the mound.

Montas has made two starts since returning from injury and one of those outings resulted in him getting shelled by the Pirates last week. That doesn't bode well for this contest against a much better lineup.

Montas is likely to be inconsistent for a bit as he works his way back, but our expert is betting on more bad days than good days.

Conversely, that shouldn't be the case for Rodon, who shut down the Mets in a previous meeting this season.

Ultimately, our expert is backing the Yankees on the money line at -150 to take care of business on Saturday in Queens.

Over 9 (-105)

This pitching matchup is one that immediately points our expert in the direction of the over, especially with both lineups picking up the pace a bit in recent games.

A common theme for both teams - especially the Mets - has been futility on the mound, and that should continue here.

It doesn't help matters that Montas' metrics don't inspire much confidence, along with a Yankees bullpen that has been very poor in recent weeks.

Given that these lineups are on the upward trajectory and the pitching is a concern, it's fair to expect that we'll see some runs in this one.

All things considered, the Over 9 at -105 is our game totals pick on this game.

Francisco Lindor to record 2+ total bases (+110)

For our best prop bet on this game, our expert is backing Francisco Lindor to record at least two bases on Saturday.

The Mets' best player is in the midst of a very solid season, posting some tremendous defensive metrics while slugging 17 home runs and recording 46 RBI's on the year.

Given that Lindor has been hot and has experienced plenty of success against Rodon in his career (.500 SLG in 38 at-bats), we can expect more success from the Mets' shortstop on Saturday.
