New York Mets DFS Spin
Mets second baseman Jeff McNeil drove in half of his team’s runs in their 6-4 win over the Marlins on Monday. In that contest, McNeil hit out of the #8 spot in the lineup and went 1 for 3 with a homer, 3 RBIs, and a run scored. The 32-year-old out of Santa Barbara, California is batting .221 with 8 homers, 30 RBIs, and an OPS of .622 across 336 plate appearances this season. Jeff McNeil has an OPS of .846 over the past 15 days, making him worth a look in most DFS formats.
New York Yankees DFS Spin
Yankees catcher Austin Wells reached base 3 times in his club’s 9-1 victory over the Rays on Monday. Hitting out of the cleanup spot, the New York backstop went 3 for 5 with a homer, an RBI, and 2 runs scored. Across 211 plate appearances this year, Wells is hitting .223 with 7 homers, 21 RBIs, and a .715 OPS. The 25-year-old Scottsdale, Arizona native is batting .261 against lefties this season. That means Austin Wells could draw a start behind the plate against Mets southpaw starter Jose Quintana on Tuesday.

Mets vs. Yankees Betting Prediction
The Yankees will start right-hander Luis Gil against the Mets on Tuesday night. Gil is having a breakout campaign, as he’s pitched to a 10-5 record with a 3.17 ERA in 2024. Gil’s peripheral stats are solid as well. In 19 starts this year, the 26-year-old Dominican national has a WHIP of 1.08, a K/9 of 10.4, and an opponent batting average of .171. Luis Gil has tossed 9 quality starts this season, and I like his chances to fire another one here. I’m taking the Yankees on the money line at home over the Mets in the first game of this two-game Subway Series set.
