Sunday Night Subway Series Showdown: Which New York Titan Will Claim Ultimate Glory?

The Yankees are not showing any signs of missing Juan Soto, and they aren’t looking like they have a World Series loss hangover. Hell, the Yankees don’t even look like a team that is missing their best starter. They look like a team that should be an October favorite. Entering tonight, the Yankees are 26-19, so not quite as good as the Mets, but still solid. They are slightly worse than they were at this point last year – 45 games into the season, the Yankees were 30-15 in 2024. Still, they are doing well enough despite all of the changes for the roster. Speaking of changes, the biggest addition was bringing in Max Fried and he has overdelivered to this point in the year. There never was a question about Fried’s stuff, it was always about the injuries. So far this season, he is 6-0 with a 1.11 ERA and a 0.94 WHIP. Those are filthy numbers and Cy Young worthy. He has allowed no more than two earned runs in any game, and only allowed two runs twice in nine starts. Every other game, one run or fewer. The Mets know Fried well from all their Mets vs. Braves days, but they are hitting just .242 against him. Pete Alonso has the most success.
