The New York Mets are about to enter a crucial portion of their season. After spending five days without playing due to a small COVID-19 bout (a player and a coach got infected) the team is about to take the field today with a doubleheader against the Marlins.
MLB decided that the New York Mets would play three doubleheaders this week: the one against the Marlins today and two versus the New York Yankees on the weekend, as a way to make up for the games they lost last week. As a result, the team will have nine scheduled games in a span of six days.
