Matt Harvey will take the ball for the Mets. Harvey is 3-0 this season with a 3.50 ERA. In his last outing he was playing with flu-like symptoms and still picked up the win. He will be making his debut at Yankee stadium and baseball fans are anxious to see how the Yanks will react.

One way they will react his countering with an ace of their own in CC Sabathia. The left hander has a 4.35 but has yet to pick up a win this season. In his last outing he was able to hold the Tigers to just two runs over eight innings but the offense couldn’t get it done. Against the Mets, he is 3-1 with a 2.14 ERA over five starts.
