The New York Mets (34-49) return to Citi Field tonight to begin an 11-game home stand against the Tampa Bay Rays (43-43). The two teams are facing off for the first time since 2015, when the Rays took two out of three at Tropicana Field.
The Mets are 12-9 all-time against the Rays. The clubs have not played each other in New York since 2009, though Tampa Bay did serve as the home team in a three-game series last September with the New York Yankees at Citi Field after being relocated due to Hurricane Irma.
