Yankees vs. Mets prediction: Subway Series player props, odds, picks
Marcus Stroman can't stop giving up hits.
Through four starts in 2025, the Yankees right-hander has struggled keeping runners from scoring, posting an 8.16 ERA.
While he's walked more batters and allowed more home runs than usual, Stroman's tendency to allow hits of all kinds is perhaps the most troubling for him going forward.
Last season, Stroman allowed 9.7 hits per nine innings, which would've been the third-most among qualified MLB pitchers if he tossed eight more innings on the year.
It hasn't gotten any better during his second year in the Bronx.
Stroman is once again allowing more hits than innings pitched (9.4 per nine innings) while also striking out hitters at a career-low rate (five per nine innings).
He looked better in his return from knee inflammation last time out, allowing three hits over five innings against the Athletics, but he may have been a bit lucky.
Yankees pitcher Marcus Stroman (0) hands the ball to manager Aaron Boone as he leaves the game during the first inning of the Yankees and San Francisco Giants game at Yankee Stadium.

Stroman struck out just one batter in that outing, allowing a .133 batting average on balls in play, which is far from a sustainable number.
The ex-Met is expected to take the mound for the Bombers in Game 1 of the Subway Series in Queens, giving the struggling Amazin's a good chance to get back on track offensively.
I'm targeting Juan Soto's total bases prop, specifically, against Stroman.

Tim McGraw thrills crowd before MLB Speedway Classic
MLB tried something new, sort of new. The Atlanta Braves and the Cincinnati Reds were supposed to play a baseball game on a field inside Bristol Motor Speedway. Problem is that the weather didn't cooperate and it rained and rained until after two hours play was suspended with the Reds leading 1-0 in the bottom of the first. The game will be picked up on Sunday afternoon. The idea riffs off something college football has done but weather isn't usually a problem for that sport. What did take place was a pregame concert featuring Tim McGraw. That went off without a hitch. No word on whether the Speedway Classic will be renamed Field of Streams.

White Sox INF Miguel Vargas sidelined by a left oblique strain
ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP) — White Sox infielder Miguel Vargas was scratched from Saturday night's game at the Los Angeles Angels because of a left oblique strain. Vargas was replaced at first base by Lenyn Sosa. The White Sox said Vargas is being further evaluated. Vargas, 25, was acquired from the Dodgers as part of a three-team trade in July 2024. He is batting .229 with 13 homers and 44 RBIs in 106 games. Prior to the matchup with the Angels, the White Sox placed right-hander Dan Altavilla on the 15-day injured list with a right lat strain. Right-hander Owen White was recalled from Triple-A Charlotte. The team also announced that first baseman Ryan Noda was claimed off waivers by Baltimore. The 32-year-old Altavilla is 0-1 with a 2.36 ERA and two saves in 25 games with Chicago this year. ___ AP MLB:
