Game Preview

In their upcoming three-game series opener, the New York Mets and Minnesota Twins find themselves in similar positions as playoff hopefuls, both fighting for wild-card spots and looking to make roster upgrades before Tuesday’s trade deadline.

For the Mets, left-hander Jose Quintana (5-6, 4.02 ERA) is set to take the mound, while the Twins will counter with right-hander Simeon Woods Richardson (3-1, 3.27 ERA).

The Mets, coming off a split in their four-game series against the Atlanta Braves, remain in the third wild-card spot in the National League, just ahead of the Arizona Diamondbacks. Despite a recent setback, the Mets have been strong overall, boasting the best record in the majors since late May.

The Twins, on the other hand, secured a series win over the Detroit Tigers with a dominant 5-0 victory, propelled by Bailey Ober’s one-hit performance. The Twins now lead the Kansas City Royals by two games for the second American League wild card.

Recent moves by Mets’ president of baseball operations David Stearns, including acquiring reliever Ryne Stanek and outfielder Jesse Winker, signal the team’s intent to bolster their roster. Meanwhile, the Twins are looking to continue their upward trend after a rollercoaster first half of the season.
