Featured Game | New York Yankees vs. New York Mets
Why you should back the Mets
First baseman Pete Alonso has been remarkable for this club. Alonso is a slugger with gap-producing power. The two-time All-Star owns superb plate coverage and pitch recognition skills. Alonso is sixth in the league in home runs (30) and tied for first in RBI (102). On Aug. 19, he went 2-for-5 with a two-run homer.
Shortstop Francisco Lindor is an impact player both offensively and defensively. Lindor has sound range with a rocket for an arm. The four-time All-Star’s bat speed is great with home-run power. Lindor is batting .274 with 21 home runs and is fifth in the majors in RBI (84). He’s recorded two-plus hits in four of his last seven games.
Why you should back the Yankees
Right fielder Aaron Judge has been perhaps the best player in baseball this season. The four-time All-Star owns tremendous power and strength, allowing him to spray the ball all across the field. Judge is first in the league in home runs (46), tied for first in RBI (102) and second in OPS (1.044).
First baseman Anthony Rizzo is another powerful bat for the Yankees. Rizzo generates great bat speed and power when he’s at the dish. The three-time All-Star is also a nice throwing target for his teammates due to his size (6-foot-3, 240 pounds). Rizzo is tied for eighth in the league in homers (28) with 68 RBI. On Aug. 18, he went 2-for-3 with a double.
