Overview
This early-season interleague clash features the power-hitting New York Mets against the consistently disciplined St. Louis Cardinals. While both teams are hovering around the .500 mark, they’ve taken different routes—New York leans on home run power and a dominant rotation, while St. Louis relies on contact hitting and bullpen durability. With Kodai Senga and Sonny Gray on the mound, this matchup is expected to be tightly contested and low scoring.
