Two crosstown rivals, the New York Mets (29-17) and New York Yankees (26-19), meet in the rubber match of a three-game Subway Series on Sunday Night Baseball. First pitch from Yankee Stadium in the Bronx is scheduled for 7 p.m. ET (ESPN).

Our Mets vs. Yankees player props expect Cody Bellinger to be a big reason why David Peterson has a short outing, and finds great value in a wager backing Juan Soto. We also have a play on the outcome of the game in our Mets vs. Yankees prediction.

Peterson has recorded 18 outs in each of his last two starts, but recorded 16 or fewer outs in each of his three starts prior to that. He's been roughed up by the Yankees in the past, pitching to a 6.23 ERA and 1.962 WHIP, which is his second-worst WHIP against any team he has faced in the majors.

The Yankees rank first in the majors in wOBA and wRC+ against left-handed pitchers. Thus, I expect a short outing from Peterson, especially since the Yankees are steep -170 moneyline favorites and the Over of 8.5 runs is juiced as high as -124 at the top sports betting sites.

Bellinger enters this game amid a 12-game hitting streak, which is one shy of his career high. He has batted .340 with six extra-base hits during that span, but I am banking on him extending his hitting streak with at least one single.

The -120 odds for him to hit a single at bet365 are a great value compared to the -220 on his Over 0.5 total bases prop at DraftKings.

⚾ Best Juan Soto prop pick: Over 0.5 RBIs ⭐⭐

Best odds: +215 via DraftKings ($10 to win $21.50)

Soto has been quiet in his return to Yankee Stadium, going 1-for-6 with four walks in two games thus far. But Yankees southpaw Max Fried ranks in the 82nd percentile in walk rate, and I expect Soto to do damage with more pitches to hit.

Soto is 9-for-27 in his career against Fried, so these +215 odds for him to drive in a run is great value despite him recording an RBI in just four of 14 May games thus far.

Mike started in the sports writing industry in July 2019, and gained a lot of followers in his first year after finishing with the No. 2 overall record in an annual NFL betting competition, which made picks against the spread, and from an Over/Under and moneyline perspective. Mike is an avid fan of the NFL, MLB, tennis, and all college sports. In his opinion, March Madness is the best sporting event there is, and he's especially euphoric starting with conference tournament time in college basketball. Mike's a big advocate of "fading the public" and making plays that are contrarian, constantly citing that "there are reasons why they have those big shiny buildings in Las Vegas." When making wagers, Mike always scours the best odds at all of the major sports betting sites, where he mostly sifts through DraftKings, FanDuel, BetMGM, and bet365. He's tried several others and is of the firm belief that bettors should not just stick to one sportsbook, as there is always likely better value to be had with the same wager. In addition, while Mike received his undergraduate degree from Villanova University, he has no issue betting against the Wildcats when it comes to college basketball wagering, and suggests other bettors should always put their “head” before their “hearts.”
