Mets Host Phillies, Marlins & Nats in Pivotal Homestand Beginning this Weekend; Tickets Start From Just $5

So you’re saying there’s a chance?

The Mets brought their bats with them to St. Louis on Monday, mixing a record-breaking moonshot with some small ball to beat the Cardinals, 7-4, in the opening game of the series. Robert Gsellman picked up his first major league win along the way, thinning the Cards’ lead to just 3.5 games for the second Wild Card slot.

Maybe it’s still too soon to talk postseason, but there’s something building in the Mets clubhouse. Yoenis Céspedes has looked like his old self since returning from the disabled list. Asdrúbal Cabrera is showing the defensive range scouts said he no longer had. To put the cherry on top, the pitching staff has weathered the indefinite loss of Steven Matz, who landed on the disabled list last week citing shoulder tightness.

A series win in St. Louis would be a huge momentum swing heading into the upcoming homestand against the Phillies, Marlins and Nationals. And for fans hoping to catch the action in Flushing beginning this weekend, Mets tickets are going for bargain rates on the secondary market.

The Phillies will be in town for three games between Friday and Sunday. As it stands now, MLB tickets on Razorgator across the three-games series start from as low as $8. The weekend affair will see Bartolo Colón and Noah Syndergaard each take the hill for the Mets, who have each pitched masterfully over the last two weeks. Free Shirt Friday, a Matt Harvey bobblehead and a Steven Matz Lunch Bag will be on the promotional docket this weekend. Jon Niese was slated to pitch the final game of the series on Sunday but is expected to be replaced by Gsellman after suffering a knee injury Tuesday night.

The Marlins currently sit just 1.5 games behind the Cardinals for the second Wild Card spot, so their visit to Citi Field at the beginning of next week will be a big one. The four-game stint will be the final time the Marlins come to Queens during the regular season, and fans looking for tickets can find them starting from just $5 throughout the week. Citi Field parking is also available for the cheapest rates on ParkWhiz.com for fans driving to the game.

Ok, we’ve had some time to let it sink in – the Nationals are winning the NL East this season. Even with their huge divisional lead, though, their last trip to Queens in the regular season will be an important series to attend. Tickets for the three-game affair from September 2-4 start from $9 on the secondary market.

The next two weeks will define the season for the Metropolitans. If they can continue their winning ways, there’s every reason to believe that playoff baseball will make its way to Flushing come October.

Love and Pain: Hobbled Mets Posting Cheap Ticket Prices in August

Wednesday couldn’t have gone worse for the Mets, who were again bit by the injury bug around their 9-5 loss to the Yankees. Lucas Duda’s season is likely over after suffering a “flare-up” in his back, an injury that has sidelined him since May. If that wasn’t enough, Yoenis Cespedes is headed to the 15-day disabled list with a nagging quad that’s been bothersome since his assault on the left field seats earlier this season.

If the ship was already taking on water, it appears destined to sink by October.

Out of the team’s recent struggles comes some reassurance, however. For fans planning on attending an upcoming game at Citi Field, Mets tickets on the secondary market won’t cost an arm and a leg, though several players could use new extremities as the team’s postseason hopes dwindle.

The Mets will welcome the Diamondbacks, Padres, Phillies and Marlins to Citi Field during the month of August. A three-game series is on tap with the Dbacks between August 9 and 11, and tickets can be found for as low as $6 at each game on Razorgator. It has been a lost season in the desert for the Diamondbacks, who sit in last place in the N.L. West and are without star pitcher Zack Greinke, who’s been rehabbing an ailing back since the beginning of July.

The Padres will be in town for three games immediately following the Dbacks’ visit, and with the lower tier of the N.L. West stumbling into Queens, maybe the Mets can salvage their Wild Card hopes with a strong homestand. Mets vs. Padres tickets between August 12 and 14 will be a bit pricier than the Dbacks series, though, with tickets starting from $16. Fans driving to the game can counter those higher prices with the cheapest Citi Field parking options on ParkWhiz.com.

Following a west coast trip through Arizona, San Francisco and St. Louis, the Mets return to Citi Field for a six-game homestand against the Phillies and Marlins. Tickets against the Phillies between August 26 and 28 can be found from$16. With the Marlins in a peering down at the Mets in the Wild Card standings to begin the month, the end-of-the-month series could be the biggest of the season. Like the Diamondbacks series, Mets vs. Marlins tickets from August 29-September 1 start from just $6.

It’s fight or flight time for the Amazin’s. Will they capitalize on a relatively weak home schedule this month, or fall further into obscurity by the time the calendar turns to September? The biggest question marks surround the team’s anemic offense, which may finally send #PanicCity into full-blown meltdown mode over the next four weeks.

Mets Host Cardinals in Cheapest Remaining Games at Citi Field This Year

synd

Remember this time last year, when Clayton Kershaw flirted with a perfect game and Justin Upton’s three-run blast drenched the Mets’ playoff hopes? Well, a lot has happened since, and the Amazins find themselves in an eerily similar spot as they set to begin their first homestand of the second half with the St. Louis Cardinals this week.

In what was likely the biggest summer in franchise history, the Mets stormed back in the N.L. East standings following the acquisition of Yoenis Cespedes, immediately rattling off seven straight wins before going on seven and eight-game winning streaks in August and September, respectively. The three-month offensive surge propelled the team to its fifth World Series appearance.

It’s silly to assume the Mets will have a similar fairy tale run through the dogs days of summer this year, but the upcoming homestand will be a telling one in terms of Wild Card positioning. The Mets enter Monday’s contest just .5 games out of the second Wild Card spot, with the Cardinals on their coattails at a full game behind.

Fans won’t be cutting holes in their wallets to attend the early-week series, however, as each of the three games are among the cheapest remaining at Citi Field this year. Below is complete price breakdown for NY Mets tickets against the Cardinals, according to Razorgator:

7/25/16 Noah Syndergaard (9-4, 2.43) vs. Carlos Martinez (9-6, 2.83) | Get-in Price: $10

The Cardinals are just 10-17 at Citi Field since it opened in 2009. Noah Syndergaard will take the hill on Monday night against Carlos Martinez, both of which have been All-Stars over the last two seasons. It will be the marquee pitching matchup of the series, though tickets start from just $10. Syndergaard has faced the Cardinals once before in his career, where he lost 3-2 at Busch Stadium. Martinez is 1-1 with a 0.57 ERA in two starts against the Mets lifetime.

7/26 Bartolo Colon (8-5, 3.48) vs. Jaime Garcia (7-6, 3.98) | Get-in Price: $12

Ageless wonder Bartolo Colon is slated to start Tuesday night against Jaime Garcia. As it stands now, it will be the most expensive game of the series, with St. Louis Cardinals tickets listed from $12. Colon looks to bounce back after a difficult outing against the Cubs last week, where he pitched just 4.1 innings and gave up six earned runs. Garcia is 2-0 in July and coming off a 3-2 win against the Padres last Wednesday.

7/27 Logan Verrett (3-6, 4.14) vs. Adam Wainwright (9-5, 4.09) | Get-in Price: $8

Logan Verrett’s shelling at the hands of the Nationals earlier this month hasn’t appeared to rattle his confidence, and the 26-year-old put together two respectable outings in Philadelphia and Miami over the last week and a half. He’ll need to come up big against three-time All-Star Adam Wainwright on Wednesday, however. Still, even with Wainwright getting the start, Wednesday’s game will be the cheapest of the series. Fans can find tickets from just $8. Citi Field parking is also available for the cheapest rates on ParkWhiz.com.
