The New York Yankees (48-41) and New York Mets (52-38) wrap up their 3-game series Sunday. First pitch from Citi Field in Flushing is set for 1:40 p.m. ET (MLB.TV Free Game of the Day).

Fried and Rodon should keep the Mets bats quiet, like they have been for most of June. Paul Blackburn, Frankie Montas and an unknown spot starter will not keep you up at night. Anything the Yankees get from Marcus Stroman on Friday is a bonus.

Never mind that that it came against a Mets team that’s used duct tape and twine to hold together a pitching staff to get 27 outs every game. A win is a win is a win and the 6-4 triumph before 41,117 at Citi Field was the Yankees’ first in a week.

For the first two games of the Queens edition of the Subway Series, the Mets stadium operations crew has acted as if it wants to ensure the invading Yankees fans have a good time (and, of course, return).
