Why you should back the Mets
Right fielder Starling Marte is an athletic force for New York. Marte is a reliable defender with a strong throwing arm and solid instincts. The 33-year-old owns a smooth swing with home-run power. Marte is hitting .296 with 14 home runs and 55 RBI. In his last outing, he went 3-for-5 with a double and one RBI.
Second baseman Jeff McNeil has been an excellent contact hitter. McNeil's plate coverage and pitch recognition skills are top-notch. The two-time All-Star's swing is smooth and compact. He's currently fourth in the league in batting average (.321) with seven dingers and 49 RBI. On Aug. 21, he was 3-for-5 with two doubles.
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.
