00:00Yanks atop the AL East, 25-18.

00:04The Mets atop the NL East, 28-16.

00:08And the opener today features Carlos Rodon and his pinstripes as a home money line favorite at minus 138.

00:15Total stands at nine.

00:17DRS, tell us, how does the Subway Series begin this weekend?

00:21I think we're priced appropriately there, right around a minus 134 price at the FanDuel Sportsbook.

00:25Why is that?

00:26Both lineups look really good.

00:27Maybe a slight edge to the New York Mets lineup.

00:29But Carlos Rodon, the lefty on the mound, has been sensational, particularly over the past 30 days.

00:33His last 122 batters that he's faced, how about a 123 ISO against and a 229 weighted on base percentage.

00:40A K rate, lefty on lefty, 40%.

00:43Lefty on righty, 30%.

00:46He's been nothing short of spectacular here, which equates to him at a 77 XFIP minus to go along with a 3.17 XFIP number.

00:55You take a look at Tyler McGill, who hasn't had a bad season at all.

00:58He's got an ERA very manageable at 3.10 and an XFIP minus number at 82.

01:02I would love to take this game over the total just the way because we play in a smaller ballpark.

01:07Weather conditions about 70 degrees at first pitch, more of a right foul pole to left foul pole wind.

01:12Not really going to help you out all that much.

01:13But I'm not sure, Ben.

01:15We get to 10 total runs in this game, even though, as I told you, I like the lineups.

01:19The pitchers have been pretty good.

01:21Rivalry type situation here in the city.

01:23I don't think we get to 10.

01:25I'll take the under.

01:26But also, I'll have a lean towards the Yankees here at that minus 134 price as well.
