It’s the Fourth of July in our nation’s capital, and that means the return of one of the great annual traditions around here: morning baseball! Every Independence Day since 2012 (except for 2020), the Nationals have taken the field at 11:05 a.

Oddsmakers project the Mets as a close favorite (-112 to win on the moneyline) against the Yankees (-104). The Yankees will give the start to Marcus Stroman (1-1, 4.31), but the Mets' starting pitcher has not been determined for this game.
