Subway Series Preview: Yankees & Mets Set To Clash In Big Apple

Bartolo Colon (9-6, 3.58 ERA) vs. Nathan Eovaldi (9-7, 4.78 ERA)

7:05 pm ET / Yankee Stadium, Bronx, NY / WPIX, SNY, MLBN (out-of-market)

Fitting is the fact that Bartolo Colon will squeak his way into the Subway Series. The Mets will run their fan favorite out there against a team he pitched for back in 2011.

The 43-year-old ageless wonder was named to the All-Star team this year thanks to a formidable first half. Of course, the highlight, though, was this:

With that said, his career going up against the New York Yankees has not been too sparkling. In 18 appearances (17 starts) against the Bronx Bombers, he is 5-7 with a subpar 5.98 ERA. Additionally, he has surrendered 24 home runs over just 99.1 innings in those outings.

On the mound for the Yanks is another trade questionable arm in Nathan Eovaldi. If he does not draw interest ahead of 4 pm ET, he will look to continue a solid stretch of outings which has seen him go 3-2 with a 3.60 ERA in seven appearances (four starts).

In his last start, he was charged with a tough-luck loss in Tampa after allowing three hits and three runs over six quality innings.
