Since being acquired by the Yankees Frankie Montas has given up 14 runs in 14 innings pitched. In Taijuan Walker’s last outing against the Yankees, he gave up three earned runs, two of them being home runs in six innings. He's also been dealing with bulging disk in his back. The Over is 15-5-1 in the last 21 meetings in the Bronx. Post all-star break, the Mets are third in batting average, .273, and OPS., .787. Take the Over.

Taijuan Walker is sliding back into the rotation tonight and he was hit hard recently, however he also pitched a quality start against the Yankees earlier this season. Frankie Montas is making his fourth start for the Yankees and he has allowed 14 ER in 14 IP. The Yankees bullpen is a mess right now with Scott Effross and Clay Holmes on the IL, so I have to take the chance on the Mets as underdogs here. The Mets are 21-10 since the All-Star break while the Yankees are 11-20. The Yankees have lost 14 of their last 19 games overall.

Even great teams have to work out of a slump. On Monday, the Yankees won consecutive games for the first time since July 28-30 in a 4-2 victory over the Mets. I expect newly acquired pitcher Frankie Montas to get back to the form the Yankees traded for. I'm on the Yankees.
