The Mets (69-69) head back to Florida in the hopes of turning the tables on the Marlins (57-80), who beat them in three out of four in loanDepot park in early August. That series catalyzed the team’s rapid slide out of first place, which was officially completed that weekend when New York was swept in Philadelphia. The Mets did just sweep the Marlins at Citi Field last week, and the two clubs have split 12 games in 2021.
The Mets won three out of five against the Nationals over Labor Day weekend.
