Game Play Predictions

New York Mets

  • Jacob deGrom currently leads Major League Baseball with a 1.68 ERA. Justin Verlander is second with a 2.19 mark.

  • deGrom has gone at least six innings, allowed three earned runs or fewer and has struck out six or more in 11 consecutive starts.

  • In his one previous start against the Yankees this year, deGrom fired eight innings of two-run ball while striking out eight. His offense scored him one run as he suffered defeat.

  • José Bautista has faced off with Masahiro Tanaka 39 times over his career and has 10 hits. Two of them are homers and three are doubles.

  • Just over his last five games, Michael Conforto has scored six runs, hit two homers and driven in seven runs as well.

  • Yoenis Céspedes has homered in the last two games he’s appeared in. One was in May and one was on Friday. He was unavailable for Saturday’s game but hasn’t been ruled out for Sunday just yet.

  • Amed Rosario is the Mets hottest hitter batting .353 with a .989 OPS over his last 10 games. He’s swiped three bags over that span as well.

  • Brandon Nimmo has one hit over his last 10 at-bats.

  • The Mets have the lowest team batting average in baseball since the start of July (.208).

New York Yankees

  • During his last outing before the All-Star break, Masahiro Tanaka looked very sharp allowing just one run over six innings while striking out five against the Indians.

  • Tanaka squared off against the Mets earlier this year -- the same game today’s opponents Jacob deGrom pitched in -- and he pitched well, allowing just one earned over five innings while punching out eight.

  • Tanaka has allowed 18 home runs this season, but surprisingly only five at come at Yankee Stadium.

  • Giancarlo Stanton has had deGrom’s number over the course of their respective careers going 9-for-25 with four home runs off of him.

  • Other than Stanton, Brett Gardner and Gary Sánchez are the other two active Yankees players that have taken deGrom deep.

  • Aaron Judge has back-to-back three hit games starting the second half of the year. Maybe skipping the Home Run Derby was a good idea? Kidding.

  • Greg Bird is hitting .297 over his last 10 games, and has a hit in all but one of those contests.

  • Didi Gregorius has a .915 OPS at home compared to a .709 mark on the road.

  • Miguel Andujar has continued his ways through the first two games after the break notching five hits. He’s hit .371 over his last 10 games and has 43 extra-base hits on the year.
