While Sunday’s finale didn’t go as planned, the Mets technically got themselves back on track at Citi Field this weekend. After getting swept out of Milwaukee, they took two of three from the Marlins.
So, through the first three series of 2023, the Mets have established one thing: they can beat Miami. They’re 5-2 against them across seven games. Now it’s time to show they can beat teams that don’t play in Miami. First up is a Wild Card Round rematch from last October as the San Diego Padres return to Flushing.
The last time these two squads went head-to-head, the Padres couldn’t stop hitting homers and New York’s offense went ice cold.
