What Is at Stake
Only one side is playing for something. The Yankees are chasing Tampa Bay in the AL East and holding the top AL wild card, so every win matters for seeding and a possible bye. The Mets are playing out the string, but they took two of three from the Yankees at Citi Field in May and came into the Bronx on a four game winning streak before Friday. Cole’s first Subway Series start of the year is the draw: he has been up and down at 8-8 and this is the kind of afternoon the Yankees paid him for.
How to Watch Without Cable
Outside New York, MLB.TV is the only way to watch live. Inside the market, YES streams through the Gotham Sports app and SNY through its own app, both with a TV login; DirecTV Stream and Fubo carry YES and SNY in the New York area. Starting pitcher details are on Mets vs. Yankees starting pitchers and the lineups, once posted, on Mets vs. Yankees starting lineups.
