The New York Mets, winners of eleven straight, enter the Bronx with the best record in MLB, at 13-3. Ah, but in a New York minute, everything can change. See, the New York Yankees return home, riding a three-game winning streak, while winning six-of-seven and seven of their last ten, good enough for a 9-7 ledger and first place in the AL East.
This marks the first time the two clubs will play a Subway Series in April and the first time the two have squared off with both in first place. A series which at first glance of the schedule, looked like it was too early, now serves as a litmus test for City and baseball supremacy.
