Time: 8:05 PM EST Sunday May 23, 2010 on ESPN
Tonight in the finale of the Subway Series the New York Mets host the cross-town New York Yankees. These teams have split the first 2 games of this series with the Yankees winning the opener and the Mets winning yesterday. The win yesterday was a much-needed one for the Mets, who are only 3-7 in their last 10 games and are in the basement of the NL East 6 games back of the Philadelphia Phillies. The Yankees are also not playing the best ball only going 4-6 in their last 10 games and they are in 2nd place in the Al East 5 games back of the Tampa Bay Rays.
This season the Mets are 15-9 at home and the Yankees are 13-11 on the road.
In yesterday's game the Mets beat the Yankees 5-3.
Tonight's match up is one with a couple of staff aces, who are both coming off good outings. Taking the mound for the Mets tonight is Johan Santana (3-2 3.72 ERA), who in his last start went 7 innings giving up 2 earned runs in a no-decision. On the hill for the Yankees is CC Sabathia (4-2 3.43 ERA), who gave up 1 earned run in 7 innings in a no-decision.
Sabathia is 2-0 with a 1.20 ERA in 2 career starts against the Mets, and is 12-3 with a 3.54 ERA in his last 25 inter-league starts.
Santana is 4-2 with a 4.59 ERA in 8 regular-season starts against the Yankees, but is only 1-2 with an 8.64 ERA in 3 outings with the Mets. He is 2-5 with a 5.11 ERA in 7 career inter-league starts with the Mets.
Sabathia is not only a solid pitcher, but is also a great hitter during inter-league play, as he is hitting .295 with 2 HR's and 8 RBI's in 17 games.
Dating back to last season the Yankees are 11-4 in Sabathia's last 15 road starts and the Mets are only 3-7 in Santana's last 10 starts against a team with a winning record.
The Yankees have lost Sabathia's last 2 starts.
A-Rod (5/23) and Mark Teixira (6/26) have not had much success against Santana, but Derek Jeter (11/26) has killed the Mets' Ace.
