It\u2019s the Subway Series<\/a> finale at Yankee Stadium amid the 25th-anniversary weekend of 9\/11.<\/p>\n

Cam Schlittler is slated to start.\u00a0<\/p>\n

One year ago, that sentence didn\u2019t mean anything, but now as the favorite to win the AL Cy Young priced at -1400 odds, the Mets are pitted in a wild goose chase.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Schlittler took command of the race<\/a> after dazzling with seven innings of shutout baseball while striking out 10 Rockies earlier this week and raising himself to Statcast\u2019s 96th percentile in strikeout rate.<\/p>\n

It was his fourth double-digit strikeout start of 2026.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Over Schlittler\u2019s last nine starts, he has allowed more than one run just once.<\/p>\n

Mets vs. Yankees prediction, best bet<\/p>\n

In fact, it wouldn\u2019t be farcical to say he\u2019s strung together arguably the best season ever as a Yankees starter.<\/p>\n

Schlittler has been a major reason the Yankees have kept things close with the Rays in the AL East as Aaron Judge spent months recovering<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Bombers are priced as expensive as -190 on the moneyline with Schlittler facing Christian Scott (4-4, 3.81 ERA).<\/p>\n

As of this writing, the Mets are eighth overall in strikeouts.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Schlittler handled them with nine trips back to the dugout in 6 \u2154 innings on May 15, earning a 5-2 victory.<\/p>\n

Of the Mets\u2019 many issues this year, their offense has been primarily inhibited by a severe lack of power and an inability to hit fastballs.<\/p>\n

Schlittler\u2019s blistering four-seamer has been one of the game\u2019s most consistent offerings: he\u2019s averaging 98 mph (sheesh!), drawing whiffs at a 35 percent clip and putting hitters away with it at 27 percent \u2014\u00a0a significantly higher mark than any of his other four pitches.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Between his fastball, cutter and sinker, Schlittler has thrown the trio on 89.4 percent of his pitches and no one can crack the formula.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Mets rank No. 22 overall in raw strikeout total against those three pitches, per Statcast.<\/p>\n

Their season being long gone doesn\u2019t play a role in the Yankees\u2019 preparation for the postseason, Schlittler\u2019s exclamation point on a masterful season or the meaning behind an especially emotional Subway Series.\u00a0<\/p>\n
