Verdict
The Yankees are far from in-form, and they are sending Corey Kluber, who has struggled and been surprisingly wild recently, to the mound. The Yanks have lost each of the last three games that Kluber has started and are 6-6 in his outings this year.
More importantly, the Yankees have struggled at the plate in September, and their bullpen, which has seen lots of work recently, has also been bad lately.
The Mets have been in pretty good form over the last two weeks. They have also played well at home recently and have been swinging the bat extremely well.
While Walker has struggled mightily in the second half, he has pitched decently well at Citi Field this year, particularly in the last two outings there. In addition, he threw the ball pretty well against the Yankees earlier in the year and has fared better during night games.
