Though it’s not free, you can also watch SNY live with its new in-market streaming package offered through MLB.tv. For $24.99/month (or $124.99/year), subscribers in the NY area will be able to stream every Mets game that airs on SNY. For die-hard Mets fans, this may be well worth the investment.

Though the Mets completed a 4-0 season sweep last year, the stakes weren’t nearly this intense, partially because they weren’t nearly the juggernaut they are now. But with both teams making deep playoff runs last year, and sporting dueling $300 million payrolls, Friday very much felt like a potential World Series preview.

Juan Soto had a quiet night with three walks, a groundout and a flyout in his return to the Bronx, Carlos Rodón won his fourth straight decision and the New York Yankees beat the Mets 6-2 Friday night in the first of six Subway Series games this season.
