Yankees Favored Over Mets as Carlos Rodon Returns for 28-17 New York

2 articles · Updated · Fox News · May 16

Carlos Rodon is set to start for the Yankees in the all-New York rivalry-week matchup, with New York entering as the stronger side against the Mets.
28-17 Yankees have played like a 100-win contender despite a modest 14-11 road mark, and Rodon’s return adds to a club already backed by a solid bullpen.
Rodon’s first outing back was uneven—4.1 innings, three earned runs and five walks against Milwaukee—but Mets hitters have batted just .215 against him over 65 at-bats.
18-26 Mets counter with a bullpen game led by Huascar Brazoban after another rotation injury, leaning on a strong relief corps to cover for an offense hitting .225 and ranking in the league’s lower tier in runs.

With a top offense versus a pitching crisis, will this rivalry game defy low-scoring predictions?
