The Yankees host the Mets in the Bronx Tuesday night as the two New York City teams begin the second ‘Subway Series’ of the 2023 MLB regular season.

The crosstown rivals split a two-game series at Citi Field in Queens last month.

There is a possibility that Tuesday’s game is affected by strong storms in the forecast.

Meanwhile, Justin Verlander will toe the rubber for the Amazins (46-53, fourth in the NL East) who are 7 games back of the NL Wild Card.
