This lineup has been confirmed to me by Mets insiders…you’re good to run with it.
The Mets continue their first homestand of the season tonight after sweeping a twinbill against the Phillies yesterday…The Mets are over .500 for the first time this year…With a win tonight, the Mets would secure their first series win of the season…The team is 3-1 so far during their current homestand…The Mets will play two more games against Philadelphia before hitting the road for a six-game, seven-day road trip to Coors Field followed by Wrigley Field.
Pete Alonso led off the eighth inning of game one of yesterday’s doubleheader with a game-tying RBI single…Alonso has a .688 slugging percentage in extra innings in his career…That ranks eighth in the majors over the last three seasons (min. 15 extra-inning AB)… His five extra-inning RBI since 2019 are tied for the ninth-most in the majors.
The above paragraph completely ignores how much he is striking out and that he only has one home run.
Zack Wheeler returns to Citi Field tonight…The Georgia native made 126 starts for the Mets and went 44-38 with a 3.77 ERA with 270 walks and 726 strikeouts from 2013-2019…He is 19-23 with a 4.16 ERA with 131 walks and 366 punchouts in 61 starts at Citi Field… Wheeler was acquired by the Mets on July 28, 2011 from the San Francisco Giants in exchange for Carlos Beltrán.
