New York at New York

What a reversal of fortunes. The Mets last saw the Yankees taking their last breath in what looked like a nightmarish season while they were cruising along as the new kings of NY. Here we are a couple of weeks later, and how things have changed! The Yankees have rattled off nine wins in a row and 12 of 14, while the Mets have dropped five straight and 9 of 10. The Yankees are pounding every pitcher thrown their way. They have now scored 102 runs in 14 games good for an amazing 7.3-runs per game (RPG). They aren't coming with big outbursts, they are coming with consistency. The Yankee lineup has produced four runs or more in all 14 games. It comes at a time when the pitching has been stellar as well. The Yankees have six bullpen hurlers that have pitched 14.1 innings the last week, resulting in 0 earned runs. The Mets are not hitting at all, as they have managed three runs or less in 8 of their last 10, and the pitching has been a disaster, allowing 8.2-rpg in their latest five-game swoon. The bullpen has been in shambles allowing 16 runs in their last 18 innings of work. Bombers make the streak a double-digit 10.
