The Mets (3-6) are set to begin a four-game series against the Braves (6-2) in Atlanta tonight in the team’s first series against a National League East opponent in 2024. Seasons typically aren’t made or broken in April, but there’s an opportunity here for the Mets to establish that they’re a relatively competitive team. There’s also a chance that things go poorly and the Mets dig themselves a significant hole before we’re even halfway through the month of April.
The good news is that the Mets have won three of their past four games, even without seeing their lineup put together back-to-back strong performances yet this season.
