I would use manual and reduce the exposure say 1/2 stop for the right image and leave the left alone. Since this a high contrast situation I would turn both images into black and white and see what I can do in your hated lr photo editing software….bp

These changing background situations with a moving subject are always tricky as there is no time to take a test exposure and check for blinkies.
If in a hurry, I would meter any available mid tone in manual (or bright sky +2) and just shoot until I had time to evaluate more carefully. Same for Av but would hit the exposure lock button.
IMHO compensating (accurately!) on the fly takes a lot of experience.
