The Mets (41-46) prepare for one final series before the All Star Break, as they get set for a Wild Card series rematch against the Padres (41-46). The Mets welcomed San Diego to Citi Field earlier this year, and took two of three games. The two teams enter with identical records and sit 6.5 games back in the NL Wild Card race, which makes this a pivotal series for both clubs.
The Mets are coming off a series sweep against the Diamondbacks, as their good July fortune continued following a beyond-dismal June.
