Roosevelt Island residents are having a cow over an elusive muscle car that's been blaring annoying animal sounds across the neighborhood at all hours of the day.

Bringing your daily links to the NFL’s New York Jets Good morning, Gang Green Nation. I hope you’re all having a great start to the day. The upcoming schedule for the New York Jets is expected to be released this week. With rumors spreading that the team may be receiving a prime time matchup in Week 1, it’ll be interesting to see what the NFL decides to do. Last year, the Jets had an abundance of prime time games with the expectation that Aaron Rodgers and the Jets would still be competitive throughout the season. Yet while the Jets were competitive - at least for a little bit - only one game was played by Rodgers. Because of that, it’s quite unlikely that the team gets a similar treatment this year. But to be honest, I would prefer the Jets fly under the radar with the standard 1PM contests and prime time matchups are given to others. With that, here are your links to the team to start your morning.

Vincent Carchietta-USA TODAY Sports After a day of rest, we turn our attention to the Astros. After an unusually long early-season stretch of games, the Yankees at last rested yesterday. They played 33 games over the first 36 days of the season, which seemed high to me, so I looked back at their schedules from pre-COVID times. They averaged 30 games played across their 2017 to 2019 seasons, so it does appear that the Yankees have had less rest over the opening month than usual. They’ll get back to work today, hosting the scuffling Astros. Game one of the series features an enticing matchup of young and old: the ageless Justin Verlander vs. the precocious Luis Gil. Ahead of the game, you can work through a packed day on the site. In the morning, Smith delivers his look-back on the last week on the Yankees farm, while Sam recaps Monday’s AL action and Jeff writes the latest entry in the 1999 Yankees diary. Casey will also preview this three-game set with Houston, Esteban will provide his At-Bat of the Week, this time featuring Juan Soto and Josh, inspired by the surprising trade of Luis Arráez, examines the Marlins as a trade partner. Today’s Matchup: New York Yankees vs. Houston Astros Time: 7:05 p.m. ET TV: YES Network, Space City Home Network, TBS (out-of-market, only) Radio: WFAN 660/101.9 FM Venue: Yankee Stadium, Bronx, NY Questions/Prompts: 1. Factoring in his awful start to the season, ZiPS still projects Gleyber Torres to finish with a 110 wRC+. Would you take the over or the under on that figure? 2. How likely are the Astros to come back and win the AL West?

Judge went 5-for-10 against a trio of solid Tiger starters, but remarked that “until I’m hitting 1.000” there’s still work to be done getting himself back on track. Lots has been written about Judge’s slow start, but in the last seven days he’s posted a 147 wRC+, much more in line with what we expect. New York Post | Zack Braziller: Nestor Cortes owns some pretty major home/road splits to start 2024. The lefty is posting a 6.75 ERA away from Yankee Stadium, while in all four outings in the Bronx this year he’s pitched into the seventh. Cortes credits a usually raucous crowd for keeping his intensity levels up, even as we should expect some regression in both splits going forward. NJ.com | Max Goodman: It’s not just that Juan Soto leads the Yankees in virtually every offensive category, it’s also that he seems to be at the center of every big moment. The superstar outfielder has a 1.300 OPS with runners in scoring position, admitting himself that he’s addicted to ABs in big spots. For those of us who saw him crushing Justin Verlander fastballs at 20 in the World Series, this is nothing new, but getting to see it happen in late and close situations for the Yankees has been the best part of the season so far. MLB.com | Sam Dykstra: Yankees #2 prospect Spencer Jones has wowed scouts and fans alike with a red-hot spring training and is comfortably polishing his game with Double-A Somerset. An offseason adjustment has him getting the ball in the air more, specifically boosting his line drive rate by lowering his hands in his stance and hitting position. This shift, brought on by winter workouts with his fellow Vanderbilt alum, builds a more natural upward bat path and has Jones keeping the ball off the ground, where his eye-popping exit velos allow him to do more damage.
