New York Baseball Teams are Contending in Mediocre Divisions

Currently both New York baseball teams (the Yankees and Mets) are in similar positions, playing fairly well and right in the thick of divisional races with a slow pace.

Each team won on the West Coast last night a week after each played and swept simultaneous three game series at home.

The rarity last week saw the Yankees sweep the Kansas City Royals and the Mets sweep the Philadelphia Phillies winning Monday and Wednesday afternoon and Tuesday night games.

Last night the Yankees won against the fine Seattle Mariners’ pitcher Felix Hernandez. They are but two games over .500 at (27-25) but that is good enough for a one game lead in the A.L. East

The Mets won in San Diego last night and have a (29-23) record which puts them just percentage points behind the Washington Nationals, who have a (28-22) record in the N.L. East.
