For the first time since interleague play began, the Mets are the heavy favorites as the two teams meet out at Shea tonight. The results of Thursday's games against Chicago's teams are a good indication of what the state of both teams are right now. The Mets rallied from 5 down in the 9th to beat the Cubs 6-5. Meanwhile the Yankees had another lackluster showing in a 4-1 loss to the White Sox.
The Mets are 26-14 and lead the Atlanta Braves by 1/5 games in the NL east. The Yankees are a mediocre 18-21 and trail the Boston Red Sox (coincidentally the Braves and Red Sox meet this weekend) by 9.5 games. Former Yankees player and coach Willie Randolph is in his 3rd season as Mets manager, while Joe Torre is in his 12th and possibly last season in the Bronx.
