New York Mets Series Preview: Amazins Begin 9-Game Road Trip, Cleveland Indians Up First

Game Times, Predictions

• Game 1: Friday, 7:10 PM ET, SNY
• Game 2: Saturday, 4:10 PM ET, WOR
• Game 3: Sunday, 1:10 PM ET, SNY

This road series vs another weak opponent could perhaps jump-start the Mets offense. Even though the Mets still struggled offensively in their 2-1 series finale win over the Marlins, they finally got a big hit with Kevin Plawecki‘s two run single in the seventh inning. The Mets have struggled mightily with runners in scoring position during the first week and a half of this season. Maybe Plawecki’s huge hit could be the start of a renaissance.

Bold Prediction:

Matt Harvey will finally have a Dark Knight like performance, shutting down the Indians for eight innings.

Curtis Granderson will build on his two hits in his last two games with at least a hit in each of the three games including his first homer of 2016.

With that, the Mets offense will finally have at least a decent series and that will propel them to a three game sweep.
