New York Yankees vs New York Mets Prediction, Odds and Picks for Today, 05/15/26

The Subways Series gets underway as the New York Yankees and New York Mets both look to build momentum heading into this series. The Yankees have struggled recently, dropping 6 of their last 10 games, while the Mets enter this matchup having won 7 of their last 10 — including a 3-game sweep over the Detroit Tigers. The Mets will send former Yankee Clay Holmes to the mound, who is 4-3 with a 1.86 ERA this season, while the Yankees counter with Cam Schlittler (5-1, 1.35 ERA).

Offensively, neither team has been dominant lately. The Yankees are averaging 4.3 runs and hitting .212 in their last 10 games while the Mets are averaging 4.8 runs per game and hitting .223. Despite their recent slump, the Yankees still possess one of the more dangerous lineups in baseball overall. One player to watch is Spencer Jones, the Yankees’ top prospect. Jones has had a slow start at the major league level, batting just .083, but this series could be an opportunity for him to break out offensively and establish himself in the lineup.

Both starting pitchers have been excellent this season, but with Schlittler continuing to pitch at a high level and the Yankees lineup capable of erupting at any moment, the Bronx Bombers have a strong chance to open the Subway Series with a much-needed win.
