The Mets met early and often on Friday evening in their first collision against the Cubs. Francisco Lindor started things for the mets with a Homerun. In the second inning, Brett Baty And Jeff McNeil Homered. Juan Soto The Homerun party joined the fourth inning. The METS set -up always had the power potential – they took in the league in the league for homes in 2024 and then added Soto. It feels like now that the weather gets warmer and something begins to click.

One key to the victory of the last night was the limitation of the damage that the Power bats of the CUBs could cause. The Cubs met the third most common Homeruns in 2025, and both runs last night solo shots. Let us attribute the same game schedule this evening!

Tylor Megill has an ERA of 2.50 ERA, 2.83 FIP, 1.167 whip and a 159 ERA+ over 36 Innerings (seven starts). He looked a bit more human in his last two starts and allowed seven runs over 11 1/3 innings while he spoke 15 batters.

In his last two starts, he approved two Home Runs (one per start), which can keep an eye on the cubs in the city. The Cubs have the following career numbers against him:

Brad Keller is the start of the Cubs in a game today in which the Major League debut should be one of the top prospects of the Cubs. Cade Horton. Keller was an effective relief supplied for the Cubs this year and recorded 16 2/3 innings with an ERA of 3.78, 2.21 FIP, 1.260 whip and 109 ERA+. The hope for the Cubs is that Keller can take two Innings, look at the big bats of the Mets before passing on the ball to Horton.

The longest basement that went this season is his first trip, in which he threw 46 parking spaces over two innerings. He only left two innings on May 3 to keep his trip to only 28 parking spaces. Keller made his debut in 2018 as a starter for the Royals and was more starting between 2018 and 2020, so the start for Keller is not new. The METS have the following number of career against him:

Game notes

• This season, the Mets improved to a 14:3 record at home, which is associated with the seasons of 1985 and 1986 for the best start in franchise history. New York won the opening game in each of her six home series this season. The team of the team of the team is tied to the second best brand of the major. You have released a 2.28-e-e-e-e-e-for the third best brand in the majors and the second best in the National League.
• Last night, four different players met a Homerun from the left (Lindor, Baty, McNeil and Soto). It was the second time in franchise history, in which four different left-handed people met in one game (also: 12.06.72 when Rusty dustPresent John MilnerPresent Wayne GarrettAnd Ken Boswell each Homered).
• The Majors lead the Majors with an ERA of 2.82 and are fourth with 355 strikeouts. They are bound in third place with five shut -outs. New York’s starting staff has released an MLB best 2.59 ERA this year. The bullpen is located in the majors with an ERA of 3.13 in the majors.

Three things you should pay attention to

1. Cade Horton. The Cubs say this is a Bullpen game, but that feels like the Cade Horton game. Horton has thrown between 76 and 78 parking spaces in each of his last four games. How deep does it bring him to a major League game? Especially one in which Cade Horton probably doesn’t make his normal routine to start a game. Horton has a hot start in the small leagues with an ERA of 1.24 over 29 innerings. He approved 12 hits and 13 walks (0.862 whip) while he was 33 batters.
2. Francisco Lindor. What a game for Lindor Friday evening! He went on the plate with a Homerun and a stolen base 3 against 5. He had two Homeruns in his last four games. We are now also seeing an increase in stolen bases. Lindor has now stolen three bags in his last five games, which makes 60% of the stolen bases that he has this season. We also know that the Mets were a much better home team (14-3) than a road team (11-11). Guess guessing, who was a better home romance? At home, Lindor lowers .412/.447/.765 with seven of his eight Homeruns. He meets .207/.300/.287 on the street. The power of temptations!
3. Stolen bases. Surprisingly, Luisangel Acuña leads the team with 10 stolen bases, followed by Francisco Lindor (5), who did most of his theft last week. The Mets as a team stole three bases on Friday evening and brought their season a total of 28, with the Dodgers with the 18th in the league. This is exactly where the Mets were last season, where they ended the season with the pirates around 16. The three stolen bases on Friday evening were all from the Carson Kelly Catch, but different jugs. Is this a change in the overall strategy for the METS, a slip on the radar or something specific for the Cubs?

Let’s walk!
