Subway rumble favors the Queens underdogs tonight.

New York Mets

Mets (28-16) VS Yankees (25-18)

May 16, 2025 | 7:05 p.m. ET | Yankee Stadium

New York Yankees
Moneyline Pick - New York Mets (+115): B+

The Mets roll into this crosstown clash riding a good run of form, while the Yankees are looking to keep their good form rolling from the top of the AL East. With their rotation stabilized and bullpen roles defined, the Mets have momentum and matchup advantages on both sides of the ball. A reliable starter takes the mound for the Mets, and the bullpen remains a late-game asset. Meanwhile, the Yankees face a few uphill matchups, including limited offensive traction against strong opposing arms and a thinned rotation still missing key contributors.

This isn’t just about trends—it’s about timing. The Mets have found a rhythm, and even with Yankee Stadium’s homer-friendly setup, they’re positioned to keep control in this one. The plus-money line offers the kind of value that’s hard to pass up in a rivalry series when the edge feels this sharp.

Over/Under Pick - Over 9, (-110): B+

The Mets come in hot, having won three of their last five and swinging the bats with authority, while the Yankees are reeling after giving up a combined 22 runs over their last five games. With a thinned-out rotation and their starter working under restrictions, the Yankees' bullpen could be asked to shoulder a heavy load. On the flip side, the Mets’ lineup has been punishing mistakes lately, and conditions at Yankee Stadium—including a friendly wind and that notorious short porch—only heighten the potential for a high-scoring affair.

Both squads have the kind of firepower to turn this into a slugfest, and given the current state of both pitching staffs, the Over at 9 looks like a smart play. It might not be a bargain at the window, but between the hot bats, short fences, and questionable depth on the mound, it’s a number that should be well within reach.

Spread Pick - New York Mets, -1.5 (-170): B+

The Mets enter this Subway Series clash riding a good form, while the Yankees come in with the same record in their last ten but still working around a depleted roster. With a key arm returning to the mound and the offense averaging over five runs per game recently, the Mets have both the momentum and the matchups on their side. The Yankees, meanwhile, continue to rely heavily on a worn bullpen and have struggled to generate late offense, particularly without a few of their usual power threats.

This isn’t just a lean—it’s a calculated swing at value. Laying the run and a half carries more risk, but given how the Mets have controlled games lately and the Yankees’ late-inning issues, it’s a bet with teeth. A 5-3 type final feels very much in play here, and with the payout more appealing than the moneyline, this run line play deserves a strong look.
