National television on TBS will have the Subway Series as the Yankees will host the Mets. Verlander with the start has the Mets as the favorite. 9-7 record with an ERA of 3.37 and 144 strikeouts in 24 appearances for Verlander against the Yankees. German will get the start the the Yankees. 4-2 with an ERA of 3.27 and 41 strikeouts in 7 appearances for German. I’m gonna go with the Yankees +1.5 here as an underdog in a game they have a shot to win outright.
The Royals continued their road trip with a win yesterday in Cleveland. The Guardians are 4 games back in the Central but 6.5 back in the Wild Card race meaning they will probably have to catch Minnesota to make the postseason. Greinke is 1-10 this year, the Royals are 3-5 vs. Cleveland this year. He is 12-9 record with an ERA of 3.40 and 152 strikeouts in 36 appearances. While Civale has a record of 3-1 with an ERA of 3.50 and 44 strikeouts in 8 appearances vs. KC. Clearly Civale and the Guardians having the better year. These games get to be a needed victories for Cleveland and I think the win most likely. My pick however is KC +1.5 as for his career Greinke is over .500 in decision vs. Cleveland and even at the tail end of his career the matchup against Civale its hard to say he is out matched.
As Always Best of Luck and Enjoy Your Tuesday
