Nolan McLean in focus as Mets look to steal Subway Series win from Yankees

9/11/2026

The setup in Thursday's Subway Series runs through Nolan McLean, who takes the mound for the New York Mets against the New York Yankees.

McLean, 25, carries an 11-8 record with a 3.06 ERA and a 1.14 WHIP, and his 179 strikeouts rank 14th in baseball heading into this start.

The only two Yankees hitters he has seen in his career are a combined 0-for-6 against him. The numbers on both starters McLean's counterpart is Carlos Rodon, who holds a 5-3 record with a 3.09 ERA and a 1.17 WHIP.

Rodon has been managed carefully since returning from injury in August, and over that stretch he has allowed five earned runs across 17.2 innings.
