Lineups for Saturday’s Mets at Yankees game (1:35 p.m. ET, Yankee Stadium) had not been posted as of Friday night. Both teams normally release them two to three hours before first pitch, so expect them around 11 a.m. ET. The starting pitchers are set: Zach Thornton for the Mets, Gerrit Cole for the Yankees. This page will carry both batting orders as soon as they are official.
| Order | Mets | Yankees |
|---|---|---|
| 1 through 9 | Posted by the club about two hours before first pitch | Posted by the club about two hours before first pitch |
| SP | Zach Thornton (3-5), RHP | Gerrit Cole (8-8), RHP |
What to Expect
With two right handers starting, both managers can run their standard lineups rather than platoon heavy versions. It is a day game after a night game, so a regular or two on each side could get the afternoon off, which is the main reason the cards are worth checking before you set a fantasy lineup or place a prop bet. Friday’s opener went to the Yankees 6-4.
Where to Find Them First
Both clubs post lineups on their social accounts and the MLB app, and the SNY and YES pregame shows read them on air. Game time, TV and streaming are on Mets vs. Yankees: time, TV and how to watch; the pitching matchups for all three games are on Mets vs. Yankees starting pitchers.
The Bottom Line
Thornton and Cole are confirmed; the nine man lineups come out Saturday morning, and this page updates when they do.
