Hey sports fans! Sorry it’s been quite a while since I blogged. I hope you guys have been enjoying the summer as best you can due to COVID. Coming into this final stretch of the Major League Baseball season, the 2 local teams meet up for a critical final battle in the Subway Series tonight at 7pm in Queens. Coming into tonight’s action, the Yankees are coming off a streak of losses at the hands of the Toronto Bluejays and are barely hanging onto the second wild card spot in the American League East.
As for the New York Mets, there were high expectations for the first couple months but the team has fallen on hard times, sitting in third place in the National League East. This series is potentially make or break for both teams. If the playoffs were to start today, the Yankees would be headed up to Fenway Park to play the Boston Red Sox in a win or go home scenario.
That is why this series is so crucial for both teams. Some players to watch on both sides are Pete Alonso and Javi Baez for the Mets and Aaron Judge and Giancarlo Stanton for the Yankees.
Now let’s break down the pitching matchup! For the Mets it’s Tylor Megill (ERA 4.20, 2-4) and for the Yankees it’s Jordan Montgomery (3.47 ERA, 5-5). It should be a good matchup. If you want to watch the Yankee broadcast with Michael Kay,, David Cone, and Paul O’Neill, you can tune in to channel 576. If you’re looking for Gary Keith and Ron Darling, you can tune into SNY channel 577. All I know is Go New York Go New York Go!
