Overview

  • Friday’s opener of the three-game series at Citi Field features left-hander David Peterson (3-2, 2.79 ERA) against Colorado’s Kyle Freeland (0-7, 5.86 ERA).
  • The Mets own a 34-22 record overall and have gone 21-7 at home but have been held to four runs or fewer in 11 of their past 15 games.
  • Colorado’s 9-47 start is the worst 56-game mark since at least 1901 and projects to a potential 136-loss season.
