Where the Yankees and Mets stand as they square off in Subway Series

NEW YORK — It’s just as we suspected: The Mets enter the Subway Series coming off their first series sweep, and the Yankees limp in having lost five of six. That’s totally indicative of how their seasons have gone, right?The Mets’ sweep of the Tigers earlier this week, sparked by the promotion of outfielder A.J. Ewing from Triple A, is as good a series as they’ve played all season. That, of course, hasn’t been a high bar to clear. Even with three wins in a row and eight in their last 12 games, the Mets are 18-25.Advertisement
