1 week ago | elitesportsny.com | Josh Benjamin

It’s a battle of the First and Second Cities when the Chicago Cubs visit the New York Mets for the weekend. Better yet, the series opener on Friday night has something for everyone in New Yorker. No, Yankees fans aren’t suddenly becoming Mets fans while waiting for their 10:05 pm tilt with the Athletics. No, Chicagoans haven’t flocked to New York for a Citi Field invasion.

1 week ago | elitesportsny.com | Josh Benjamin

The New York Knicks made the Eastern Conference Semifinals an underdog story by winning an overtime stunner over the Boston Celtics in Game 1. Jalen Brunson and OG Anunoby each scored 29 points as Boston missed three after three, blowing a 20-point lead. Game 2 at TD Garden figures to be a lot different. The Celtics will reset and refocus, even if they’re a little banged up. Big man Kristaps Porzingis is sick but expected to play. Shooter Sam Hauser, however, is banged up with a sprained ankle.

The New York Yankees seek to avenge Monday’s heartbreaking, rain-soaked 4-3 loss to the Padres when righty Clarke Schmidt returns to the mound on Tuesday. On the Padres, side, however, is former Yankees top prospect and Schmidt’s former teammate, Michael King.

An open letter to the New York Yankees lineup

Dear New York Yankees hitters,First off, solid start to the season. 19-16 isn’t ideal, but first place in the AL East is first place in the AL East with or without Juan Soto batting in front of Aaron Judge. Speaking of, let’s talk about Judge. Another great season in progress, this time batting over .400 with 11 homers, and it’s only May 6! The Yankees lead the American League in runs, batting average, and top all of baseball in home runs.

The New York Knicks are hoping the third time’s the charm as they make their third straight trip to the Eastern Conference Semifinals. This will prove their toughest battle yet as their opponent is their bitter rival, the Boston Celtics. Two years ago, against Miami, the Knicks simply weren’t ready for a deep playoff run. Last season, injuries to Julius Randle, Mitchell Robinson, and OG Anunoby derailed them against the Pacers. But now? The Knicks are as healthy as they can be.

2 weeks ago | elitesportsny.com | Josh Benjamin

The Yankees hand the ball to big lefty Carlos Rodon on Tuesday evening, less than 24 hours after a tough 4-3 loss to the Orioles on Monday. Will Warren’s hanging sweeper proved Ryan O’Hearn’s three-run home run the difference-maker. Fans may be unaware, but Rodon himself is hoping to reverse a trend: His own personal history against Baltimore. What does this mean?

2 weeks ago | elitesportsny.com | Josh Benjamin

The New York Mets split the first two games of a four-game set with the Washington Nationals, leaving a Sunday matinee for the ages. Both teams will hand the ball to pitchers who have performed above and beyond expectations. The Mets’ big righty Tylor Megill has given hitters fits with a new fastball-slider-sinker pitch mix, and has yet to allow a home run this season. Washington’s Mitchell Parker, a big lefty, will counter with his own fastball-splitter-curveball selection.

2 weeks ago | elitesportsny.com | Josh Benjamin

Saturday’s rainout means a Sunday doubleheader for the Yankees, who lost a Friday heartbreaker to the Toronto Blue Jays. That can only mean one thing on the Bronx Bombers’ mind: Doubleheader sweep. Sunday’s tilt is a single admission double-header, so teams only get a 30-minute break between games. It’s a test of team health, bullpen management, and managing for the future all rolled into one.

The Yankees endured a heartbreaking 3-2 loss in Cleveland despite four hits from Aaron Judge and the returning Ben Rice’s leadoff home run. Mark Leiter Jr. didn’t have his best breaking pitches, coughed up the lead, and New York’s bats couldn’t capitalize on any baserunners. They’ll hand the ball to Carlos Rodon in Wednesday’s matinee finale in hopes of avoiding a sweep.
