The Yankees and Mets were flying high when they played against each other at Yankee Stadium in mid May. On the Monday off day after that series, the Yankees had a 4.5-game lead in the AL East. The Mets were only 1/2 game behind the Phillies in the NL East at that point.

Subway Series continues this weekend when the New York Mets host the crosstown rival New York Yankees for three games at Citi Field. It is potentially a World Series preview, though neither team has looked the part of a World Series contender the last 3-4 weeks.
