The Mets and Yankees have played each other every year in the regular season since the beginning of interleague play in 1997.
Last year, the Mets and Yankees split their four-game home and home series – the Mets won both games at Yankee Stadium, whereas the Yankees won both games at Citi Field.
Here are some notes on the history of the Subway Series:
- According to the Elias Sports Bureau, this is the first time the Mets and Yankees have faced off against each other when both teams have at least had a share of first place in their respective divisions.
