Pitching:
Tanaka’s starts have been money for Yankees bettors of late, as the team has gone unbeaten over his last seven trips to the mound.

Game 2 Saturday, June 9, 7:15PM EST
Starters: Domingo German (0-4, 5.44 ERA) vs. Steven Matz (2-4, 3.42 ERA)
Pitching:
Despite his propensity for giving up runs since replacing Jordan Montgomery in the Yankees’ rotation, German continues to be relied upon by his team. German has allowed at least four earned runs in each of his last four starts. As for Matz, he’s dialed in of late, having allowed only two earned runs in his last three starts, covering 16 total innings. He has a 2.32 ERA since May.
Hitting:
- Giancarlo Stanton is 4-for-10 with two homers against Matz.
- Miguel Andújar enters the series with a .471 (8-for-17) batting average and two homers in his past five games.

Mets win, 4-3.
Game 3 Sunday, June 10, 8:08PM EST
Starters: Luis Severino (9-1, 2.20 ERA) vs. Noah Syndergaard (4-1, 3.06 ERA)
Pitching:
Even Yankees fans might have a hard time recalling when was the last time their team lost during a game Severino started. The Yankees have gone 10-0 in the last 10 starts of Severino, who allowed only an earned run on four hits in eight innings of a 7-4 road win over Detroit in Jun. 4. Dating back to Apr. 16, Severino is 7-0 with a 1.85 ERA in 10 starts. The Mets will counter with Syndergaard, who will make his first start since May 25 after dealing with a finger injury.
