Memorial Day is one of baseball's traditional measuring points and we don't like what we see from the locals lately. Both the Mets and Yankees are sputtering and tumbling in our Daily News MLB Power Rankings.

The Yankees have lost six in a row and 10 of 11. The six consecutive losses is the longest single-season losing streak since 2011. Yes, the team made the playoffs that year. No, it doesn't look good this year, at least so far.
