5 monster MLB series you’ll want to see live in August

MLB monster series: Mets at Yankees August 22-23
The rematch between the Astros and Braves will take place right before the New York Mets and New York Yankees play each other two more times. The Mets took both games in July when they were the host. This time, the Yankees get to be the ones with the last ups.
Mets vs. Yankees has taken on a whole new life in 2022. Astros and Braves played in last year’s World Series. They’re old news. This year could come down to a Subway Series between these two powerhouse clubs sharing a city.
The Yankees should continue to cruise as the American League East winners while the Mets have to worry about the Braves catching them. Even if each club manages to not lose a single game between now and the time they meet up again, there isn’t a bigger MLB series out there than when the largest market in the country has two clubs face off against each other.
Whether you drive or take a train to the ballpark, watching a Subway Series matchup at any point in the season should be on every baseball fan’s bucket list. Unless they meet in October, this will be the last chance to see it in 2022. It may also be one of the best matchups considering how good both clubs are.
