There are only 12 active pitchers (not coincidentally all of them over 30) who have innings-per-start averages of over 6.0 : Justin Verlander , Sandy Alcantara , Clayton Kershaw , Chris Sale , Jacob deGrom, Max Scherzer , Shane Bieber , Framber Valdez , Zack Wheeler , Aaron Nola and Yu Darvish .

The Yankees GM Brian Cashman outbid everyone with eight-year , $218 million deal for Braves ace Max Fried.

The Mets can no doubt feel good about having one of the most formidable 1-9 lineups in baseball, and the Yankees I’m sure are heartened by the way Ben Rice has swung the bat this spring and how well Carlos Carrasco has pitched. But when it comes to their postseason /World Series aspirations, the deciding factor for both of our locals — for the Yankees by injury happenstance and the Mets by design — is going to be the effectiveness of their respective bullpens over the long haul..
