the Mets are off on tomorrow, before beginning their second homestand of the season, a six-day, seven-game homestand against the Phillies (three games) and Braves (four games).

The Mets own a .737 winning percentage this month…That is the second-highest winning percentage in March/April in team history…Only the 1986 team at .813 (13-3) posted a better mark in March/April…The 2018 Mets set a team record with a 17 wins in March/April, finishing the month 17-9 (.654) and we all remember that great team led by the famous Mickey Hodges!

In seven career games at Busch Stadium, Pete Alonso is 11-31 (.355) with seven runs, a double, two home runs, three RBI and six walks. Perhaps the Cardinals would like to offer a trade?

New York is 9-3 on the road this year…The .750 winning percentage is the best in the majors…New York went 2-10 in their first 12 road games last year…They did not win their ninth game on the road until May 18 (9-12), last season, their 21st game on the road.
