The Mets look to extend their winning streak to five games tonight as they head to the West Coast … again. The Mets had their first road trip in the Eastern time zone last week, but it could only last so long. Today, they start a road trip to Seattle, then head down to San Diego.

The Mets and Mariners are both catching each other on the upswing. The Mariners, who have struggled for a large portion of the season, have won eight of their last ten and six straight. They are two games over .500, have a +30 run differential, and are in first place in the AL West. The Mets are coming off a sweep of the Marlins and a winning record in May. Let’s start this trip strong!

  • New York enters the day with a 9-6 record in interleague play in 2026.

Three Things To Watch For

  1. Sean Manaea. Today feels like a Sean Manaea bulk game, although the Mets explicitly said bullpen game after yesterday’s game. Earlier in the week, the Mets announced that David Peterson was moving back to the bullpen and Sean Manaea was going to the rotation. I guess we’ll see which reality it is for Manaea tonight. Manaea has pitched in 12 games, totaling 34 innings with a 5.56 ERA, 3.66 FIP, 1.618 WHIP and a 72 ERA+. In his last two outings, he has allowed two runs over 6 2/3 innings from seven hits and two walks while striking out seven.
  2. Juan Soto. Soto continued doing Juan Soto things on Sunday, going 2-for-4 with a grand slam, breaking the game open and taking the pressure off of the Mets for the rest of the afternoon. Soto now has a 2.0 bWAR and 13 home runs. Over his last 15 games, Soto has hit eight home runs, slashing .382/.469/.873.
  3. Carson Benge. Benge had a huge weekend, going 4-for-8 with two doubles, a home run, a walk and three runs scored. In the season, Benge is hitting .253/.318/.359 with a 93 OPS+. Benge had a terrible start to the season, slashing .136/.219/.197 through April 22. Over the 36 games since then, Benge is hitting .311/.368/.439.

Let’s go Mets!
