The 2024 Subway Collection between the Mets and Yankees will wrap subsequent subsequent week. The Mets swept two video games from the Yankees at Citi Discipline final month, and the Yankees will look to return the favor within the Bronx.
On Friday, the Mets introduced veteran lefties Jose Quintana and Sean Manaea will begin the 2 Subway Collection video games, that means Luis Severino won’t face his former staff. He didn’t face the Yankees final month both. Naturally, his outdated Yankees buddies are giving him a tough time about it, however Severino had a fairly good comeback.
“We have now a bunch chat, the blokes who’ve been by the Yankees and stayed with the Yankees. They speak s— about me, like, ‘You are afraid of us,'” Severino mentioned Friday. “I mentioned, ‘I am not afraid of you guys. Proper now you solely have two good hitters.’ I can stroll these two guys. It is at all times pleasant competitors with gamers I’ve already performed with. It may be enjoyable, and hopefully sooner or later I can face them.”
Hey, Severino’s not unsuitable! The Yankees are closely reliant on Aaron Decide and Juan Soto. Since Giancarlo Stanton obtained harm on June 22, Decide and Soto are hitting .291/.431/.575 with 11 dwelling runs. The remainder of the Yankees are hitting .214/.283/.354 with 16 dwelling runs. That is in 19 video games too. Not, like, 5. The Yankees are a two-man military.
I suppose the excellent news for the Yankees is Stanton, who hit 18 homers with a .795 OPS earlier than his hamstring damage, went by full agility drills Friday and will rejoin the Yankees within the coming days. And, in fact, even with the non-Decide/Soto portion of the offense being so underwhelming, the Yankees entered the second half averaging 4.98 runs per sport, probably the most in baseball.
As for Severino, he is had a robust bounceback season, throwing 109 2/3 innings with a 3.78 ERA. He is stayed wholesome too. Accidents have been an enormous downside from 2019-23, and final season Severino threw 89 1/3 innings with a 6.65 ERA for the Yankees. The 2 sides parted methods within the offseason and Severino is doing fairly effectively along with his recent begin in Queens.
Severino’s Mets have the most effective document in baseball since June 1 (25-13) and are 49-46 on the season. They sit within the third NL wild-card spot. The Yankees are 58-40 and one sport again within the AL East. They’ve the fourth greatest document in baseball.
