The New York Yankees will begin their "subway series" against the New York Mets on July 26, and Yankees fans are nervous. The series between the two iconic New York teams is just a day away. It is only a two-game series, but it could prove to be a World Series preview.
The starting pitchers for both games have been announced. Both teams are offensive powerhouses, but fans believe the Mets have the clear advantage in pitchers.

Despite leading the MLB in wins, New York Yankees fans did not have their confidence boosted based on the starting pitcher matchups.
The announcement had an inverse effect on Mets fans. They are more confident in a victory than they were before the starting pitchers were announced.
The second matchup between Domingo German and Max Scherzer has New York Yankees fans especially worried. Scherzer has been one of the best pitchers in the league this season with a stellar ERA of 2.28. Meanwhile, Domingo German has barely played, pitching only three innings in 2022.
The rivalry between the two New York-based MLB teams goes back a long time. Even though Yankees fans are not confident of a win, the team has the ability to beat any opponent in the league.
How can the New York Yankees defeat the New York Mets?
The New York Mets may have the advantage on the mound, but the Yankees are more than capable of scoring in bunches. If what it takes to defeat the Mets is a high-scoring affair, their stars will have to rise to the occasion.
Aaron Judge has been one of the best players all season. He leads the MLB with 37 home runs. The X factor for the Yankees will be their underperforming star Josh Donaldson. If he can step his game up from where it has been recently, his team will become even more dangerous.
For the first time in a long time, New York Yankees fans are not confident going into a big series. The Mets' starting pitchers may have the fans intimidated, but rest assured that the Yankees' batters will approach the plate with no fear.
