The New York Yankees and the New York Mets are prepping for another iteration of the Subway Series over the weekend, and it begins with a Friday night match-up. The Yankees, who find themselves slightly ahead of the Red Sox, are going up against the slumping Mets.

For the Yanks, Masahiro Tanaka will be on the mound. Tanaka is 3-0 in his last three starts after a fairly pedestrian start to the season. He'll try to keep that ball rolling against a Mets order that's struggled this season. Asdrubal Cabrera is the biggest threat in the Mets order, but a recent slump has weakened the Mets' lineup.

On the Mets' side, Jacob deGrom will be on the mound. DeGrom has been a rare bright spot for the Mets this season, with a 4-0 record and an ERA a hair under 1.50. He's going up against one of the best orders in baseball, so he'll need his best stuff on Friday to give the Mets a chance.
