Why you should back the Yankees

Center fielder Aaron Judge is a phenomenal difference-maker on the diamond. Judge has light tower power and an effortless swing. The six-time All-Star also has a rocket of an arm from the outfield. He's eighth in the league in batting average (.309) while ranking first in home runs (35), RBI (89) and OPS (1.114). In Monday's contest against the Rays , he was 2-of-5 with two base hits.

Right fielder Juan Soto is one of the top power hitters in the game. Soto does a great job adjusting when at the dish and isn't overly aggressive. He has the ability to make consistent contact due to his plate coverage. The 25-year-old is ninth in the league in batting average (.308), sixth in home runs (25), tied for fifth in RBI (71) and third in OPS (1.020). On July 22 against the Rays, he was 3-of-5 with two homers and four RBI. See which team to pick here .

Why you should back the Mets

Shortstop Francisco Lindor is an athletic playmaker for the Mets. Lindor owns a strong arm as a rangy defender but is also a well-rounded offensive hitter. The 30-year-old is currently leading the team in batting average (.256), home runs (19) and hits (103) with 55 RBI. On Monday against the Marlins , he went 2-of-4 with two solo homers.

First baseman Pete Alonso continues to be an impactful slugger. Alonso has a terrific pop in his swing with the plate coverage to push the ball into any gap. The four-time All-Star is batting .244 with 19 dingers and 51 RBI. In Tuesday's win, Alonso went 2-of-4 with two singles. See which team to pick here .
