The Brewers are set to kick off another season Friday, as they prepare to take on the New York Mets in Queens.
The Brewers are 28-26-1 all time on Opening Day (yes, they tied the Reds in 2000 and finished the season 73-89-1). They’re 16-17-1 on the road on Opening Day, including losses on the road against the Cubs in three of the last four seasons. This is the first time the Brewers have ever played the Mets on Opening Day, although they’ve played in New York against the Yankees twice on Opening Day, in 1977 (lost, 3-0) and 1979 (won, 5-1).
