The New York Yankees' season has hit a rough patch. The team has lost the American League East lead, and Aaron Boone could be to blame.

The Yankees are now one game back of the Blue Jays in the AL East. It was their first four-game sweep in Toronto in franchise history.

It's safe to say the initial panic about Juan Soto's tenure with the New York Mets was overblown, as his hot streak continued with a two-run homer in Friday's 6-5 win over the New York Yankees.

Juan Soto went 3-for-4 with a home run, double and single, falling just a triple shy of the cycle in the Mets' 6-5 comeback win over the Yankees on Friday.

The most anticipated series in baseball is here as the Yankees and Mets meet in the Subway Series at Citi Field this Fourth of July weekend.

BOTTOM LINE: The New York Yankees will look to end their five-game road skid in a matchup with the New York Mets. New York has a 32-13 record at home and a 51-38 record overall. The Mets have a 24-8 record in games when they hit two or more home runs.

As the New York Mets continue to look for ways to close the gap on the New York Yankees for fan supremacy in New York City, one of the ways they are differentiating themselves is by creating a more loose atmosphere at the ballpark.
