The New York Yankees and New York Mets have a chance to meet in the World Series this year. It would be another “Subway Series” with a world championship on the line. Believe it or not, this has actually happened twice. Once was in 1956 and the second time was more recently in the year 2000. The Yankees won both World Series in these matchups.

 

Right now both teams are waiting to see who they will face in the NLCS and ALCS. If each team can make it past that, they will be in the World Series facing off against one another yet again. These are two of the hottest teams in the playoffs right now and both should be the favorites to make the World Series no matter who they come up against.

 

The New York Mets are a sleeper team. They were one game away from going home before an epic comeback got them to the next round against the Milwaukee Brewers. Since then they haven’t looked back. It took them just four games to beat the Philadelphia Phillies in the last round in a series that a lot of people picked Philadelphia to win.

 

The Yankees also got here in just four games by beating the Kansas City Royals three times. They have one of the most potent offensive lineups in the league and that has been a winning formula in the postseason.

During the regular season these teams met twice, both times in two-game series. The Mets won all four of the matchups over the Yankees.

 

If these two teams hailing from New York meet up in the World Series. It should be one of the most-tuned-in for in a long time. It would make for great television as these two rivals would go head-to-head for the championship and bragging rights around the city.

 

Right now the Yankees are the favorites to win the World Series and the Mets are still the underdogs. The Mets have a little dog in them but aren’t as star studded as this Yankees’ lineup. They have gotten here with clutch and timely plays.

 

This MLB postseason has been electric. The stars have been out on teams like the Yankees and the Los Angeles Dodgers. Cinderella teams such as the Mets and San Diego Padres are looking to make a run of their own to be a surprise World Series champion. We will find out what happens over the next few weeks.
