Tonight at 7:05 p.m. ET, the New York Mets (13-3) and New York Yankees (9-7) clash for Game 1 of the 2015 Subway Series live from Yankee Stadium in the Bronx.
The Mets are surging coming into the three-game set, having tied a franchise record for consecutive wins with 11 and entering with the best record in baseball. The Amazin's also closed out a 10-0 homestand to begin their 2015 slate at Citi Field, a franchise record for consecutive wins at home to start a campaign.
The Yankees had a rocky start, but they've been red-hot as of late, winning six of their last seven games and taking three of four from the Tigers in Detroit right before this series.
This game can be live streamed here.
Jacob deGrom (2-1, 0.93 ERA) mans the mound for the Mets and rides an 18.1-inning scoreless streak into the game while the Yankees counter with Michael Pineda, who is 2-0 with a 5.00 ERA thus far.
DeGrom kicked off his MLB career against the Yankees last season at Citi Field and held the Yankees scoreless in seven innings.
There are plenty of familiar faces in this series as ex-Mets Carlos Beltran and Chris Young will suit up for the Bronx Bombers while Curtis Granderson, who played for the Yankees from 2010-13, will be on the field for the Amazin's.
While some of the Yankees' heavy hitters have been quiet this season, Young is on a roll. He enters play hitting .357 with four homers.
Granderson has had a rough start at the plate, but his 14 walks rank second in the MLB. Yankees third baseman Alex Rodriguez is right behind Granderson with 13 base-on-balls this season.
Mets first baseman Lucas Duda has been hot at the dish, hitting .351, but he's launched only one long ball this season. The short porch in Yankee Stadium could change that.
Both teams have steady ninth inning guys as Mets closer Jeurys Familia leads the MLB with six saves and the Yankees turn to Andrew Miller, who paces the AL with five.
It's the Battle of New York as the Mets and Yankees clash at Yankee Stadium tonight in the Bronx.
