It was almost one month ago that these two teams faced off for a pair of games in Queens. The Mets took both affairs, and the Orioles began their downward spiral in May, winning just one game the rest of the month.
Both teams enter this mini series on steady footing. The Mets are winners of eight out of their last 11, and the Orioles have started June on a tear, taking four of five games, and back-to-back home series for the first time all year. New York’s recent run has catapulted them to the top of the NL East while the O’s reside in the AL East’s basement.
