Mets vs. Yankees prediction
Through eight starts, Megill is striking out 11.51 batters per nine innings, which is the sixth-most among pitchers with at least 40 innings on the mound this season.
And it appears he might be taking his stride.

Yes, the Yankees are a step above those teams, coming into this series as the best hitting club in baseball so far in 2025, but they’re strikeout prone at the same time.
The Bombers’ 23.1 percent punch out rate is tied for the eighth-highest in the league heading into Thursday’s play.
Megill should rack up the strikeouts, even if the Yankees put some runs on the board early.
