This early edition of the Subway Series carries with it a little more intrigue than in past seasons. With the Mets virtually on fire with an 11 game win streak and the Yankees having won six of their last seven, it’ll be a matchup of arms this late April weekend in the Bronx.
Friday: RHP Jacob deGrom (2-1, 0.93) vs. RHP Michael Pineda (2-0, 5.00), 7:05 PM
Saturday: RHP Matt Harvey (3-0, 3.50) vs. LHP CC Sabathia (0-3, 4.35), 4:05 PM
Sunday: LHP Jonathon Niese (2-0, 1.50) vs. RHP Nathan Eovaldi (1-0, 3.12), 8:05 PM
The Mets have won four straight games at Yankee Stadium dating back to May 29, 2013, sweeping each two game series in 2014 and 2013. The Mets are 7-9 all-time at the new Yankee Stadium and 20-29 all-time during the regular season in the Bronx.
The Mets are 42-56 overall vs. the Yankees during the regular season and have won three of their last four series vs. the Yankees. Also, the Mets won both spring training games this year vs. the Yankees.
Who’d have thought a week ago the Yankees would be two over .500 and sharing first place? Better yet, who’d have thought the Mets would have a double digit + win streak just two weeks into the season? It will be interesting, folks.
With the Rangers and Islanders competing in the NHL playoffs, it takes a New York matchup such as this one, to turn the heads of New York fans this far from October. Stay Tuned!
