MLB player prop bets and odds for Juan Jose Soto on Monday, May 19, 2025, as the New York Mets take on the Boston Red Sox.

Mets outfielder Jesse Winker knows the feeling. Sitting at his locker after the Mets evened their three-game series against the Yankees on Saturday, the veteran ran through the list of stadiums he’s been viciously booed in, similarly to Soto during this Subway Series.

But the Soto Subway Series did not include the star getting mic’d up for “Sunday Night Baseball,” which was the original plan. According to sources, the Mets star changed his mind prior to the game and was replaced by Brandon Nimmo.

Paul Skenes pitched like the ace he is against the New York Mets' star-studded lineup on Monday, allowing just one run on six hits with six strikeouts in six innings. However, the Pittsburgh Pirates' bullpen and offense came up short in the 4-3 loss.
