“Sunday Night Baseball” on ESPN will feature the finale of the Subway Series. It’s a similar situation to when the teams squared off at Citi Field in early June. In that Sunday night sendoff, the Yankees lost a snoozer, 2-0, one of just two defeats all season in games Luis Severino has started.
One of the key reasons the Yankees recently dropped behind the Red Sox at the top of the AL East standings was a lack of results against non-contenders. Just a 2-2 split in Baltimore (5-5 for the season).
