No interest. The Yankees (-185) should win with ease here, but they are too expensive to take as a home favorite.
The Yankees have won Schlittler's last 3 home starts, with 2 of those coming by multiple runs. New York has covered the spread in the game following each of its previous 4 losses.
While the Mets have been competing well over the last few weeks, each their last 7 losses have come by more than one run. On the road, the Mets are just 36-38 ATS and are among the 11 teams in the majors with a cover rate under 50% in away games.
