New York Mets at New York Yankees\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
The New York Yankees are a season-high eight games over .500 entering Sunday's contest against the New York Mets<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The New York Mets have dropped the first two games of the 2012 Subway Series, including a 4-2 setback on Saturday night.\u00a0 The Mets have now lost five of their last six games, as they are in the midst of a 22-game stretch of playing teams with a .500 or better record.\u00a0 Third baseman David Wright is certainly the player to watch offensively, leading the National League with a .413 road batting average, while also ranking 10th in the Senior Circuit with a .333 average against southpaw pitchers.\u00a0 New York is 18-9 in day games this year.<\/p>\n

Mets starting pitcher Jonathon Niese (4-2, 4.11 ERA) has watched the club alternate wins and losses over his last four outings, picking up a 6-1 home win over the St. Louis Cardinals last time out, tossing six shutout innings and striking out a season-high 10 batters.\u00a0 The left-hander is 2-2 with a 4.60 ERA in six road outings, surrendering six home runs in 31.1 combined frames.\u00a0 Niese suffered a 5-1 home loss in his only career start against the Yankees, giving up three runs and nine hits over six innings.<\/p>\n

The New York Yankees have won 12 of their last 16 games, moving them to a season-high eight games over .500, as the offense continues to hit the ball out of the ball park.\u00a0 The Yankees have hit a Major League-high 90 home runs this season, including 12 over the last six games.\u00a0 It\u2019s an important statistic when you consider the club is 0-12 when failing to leave the yard.\u00a0 New York is 40-20 in June the last two-plus seasons.<\/p>\n

Yankees starting pitcher Andy Pettitte (3-2, 2.78 ERA) is coming off a brilliant performance in picking up a 7-0 home win over the Tampa Bay Rays, allowing no runs and scattering two hits in 7.1 innings of work.\u00a0 The left-hander is 3-1 with a 1.88 ERA in four home starts, with opponents hitting just .200 against him.\u00a0 In 19 career games versus the Mets, Pettitte has tallied an 8-5 record and 3.69 ERA, including a 5-3 mark and 4.17 ERA in eight games in the Bronx.<\/p>\n

Bettors will likely back the Yankees due to their 4-0 mark in interleague play against left-handed starters, while the Mets are 1-5 in their last six road games against AL opponents.<\/p>\n
