Players To Watch
Curtis Granderson (NYM)
Grandy has been the opposite of solid thus far in 2016 but seems to rise to the occasion whenever he gets the chance to face the Yankees — his former team (2010-2012). With the Tigers and Mets, he has combined to blast seven homers and drive in 19 runs over 36 games against the Yanks.
With all of the outfield questions surrounding the Mets, do not be surprised if the Grandy Man has a breakout series at the plate.
Mark Teixeira (NYY)
One of the few players on the Yankee roster certain to stay past the deadline given his poor performance and injury concerns, he tends to thrive every time he gets the chance to face Mets pitching.
In his career, he possesses an outstanding .301/.378/.571 slash with 14 homers and 48 RBIs over 52 games against the Metropolitans. Translate that over 162 games and you receive 44 home run, 150 RBI production.
It is time to gear up for the 2016 Subway Series, beginning tonight at Citi Field in Flushing. The matchups are set and the Yankees and Mets will be tasked with sorting things out on the field for the next four nights.
