Mets vs. Yankees betting preview
After allowing fewer than one homer per nine innings his last year, Schmidt is allowing 1.69 per nine this season, which is the 21st-most among starters with at least 25 innings pitched.
Batters have had an easy time putting the ball in the air against Schmidt this season, hitting a fly ball on 47.9 percent of balls in play, which is the highest rate of his career.
Schmidt doesn’t have much experience against the Mets’ regulars, but one player has gone yard against him in the past.
Francisco Lindor took Schmidt deep in September 2021 at Citi Field.

The Mets leadoff hitter will have the short Yankee Stadium right field porch waiting for him when he comes to the plate, giving him an excellent opportunity to knock one out against Schmidt once again.
