New York Mets 2020 Schedule Released

At one point for the New York Mets, it seemed all they had to look forward to was the 2020 season. With the Mets back in the race it seems crazy to already jump to next season. MLB released the 2020 schedules on Monday, here is a look for what lies ahead for the Mets.

The Mets ver early with the Washington Nationals on a likely chilly, March 26, Opening Day. 21 of their first 30 games will be played against fellow NL East teams, which will give the Mets a chance to create some early space in the division.

Interleague Play

In 2020 the Mets will cycle through the AL West for their interleague opponents. The Mets could potentially create amazing pitching duels when they matchup with the Houston Astros. J.D. Davis will also get the chance to remind the Astros why they should have kept him.

2020’s Subway Series will take place in July with two games in the Bronx, in early July, followed by two in Queens at the end of the month. When the Seattle Mariners visit Citi Field, the Mets could potentially see former top prospect Jared Kelenic.

Puerto Rico Series

The April 28-30 road series against the Miami Marlins will be played in Puerto Rico at Hiram Bithorn Stadium. This will be the fourth time both teams have played there and the second time against each other. Both also faced off against the Montreal Expos when they split time between Puerto Rico and Montreal in 2003 and 2004.

Puerto Rican fans will be happy to see Edwin Diaz, Tomas Nido and the “quarterrican” Seth Lugo play in their home country. Young prospect Isan Diaz is currently the only Puerto Rican with the Marlins.
