The Mets (22-23) will look to build off their first series win since April as they conclude their homestand with three against the Guardians (20-23). This will be the first time the two teams have squared off since 2019, when the Mets swept Cleveland at Citi Field during their frantic late-season climb up the standings. In fact, the Mets have won five of six against Cleveland in New York, and are 13-5 against them all-time.
The Mets are coming off winning two of three against the Rays. Tuesday was Justin Verlander’s home debut, and it did not go as planned, as he was rocked for six earned runs over five innings, including surrendering three homers.
