With Matt Harvey and Noah Syndergaard, presumably taking the mound in Kansas City for the opening series, it appears likely that Jacob deGrom will be the starter for the New York Mets’ home opener at Citi Field on April 8.
According to ESPN’s Adam Rubin, the Mets wanted to give both Harvey and deGrom the nod to start Opening Day, but with deGrom and his wife expecting their first child this weekend, it only made sense that Terry Collins would delay deGrom’s start until next weekend.
