The Yankees have the fourth-best record in the AL, while the Pirates are third-worst in the NL. Furthermore, Pittsburgh hasn’t made the playoffs since 2015, while New York won the AL pennant last season. The former is rebuilding, while the latter is in win-now mode.

Mitch Keller is one of the biggest starting pitcher names on the trade market heading toward the MLB deadline. That sets the Pittsburgh Pirates' right-hander up for a very unusual Monday night. You see, Keller is the starting pitcher for the Pirates in San Francisco in a game that will start at 9:45 p.m. on clocks in Pittsburgh.
