It’s the opening game of a series between a pair of National League teams with differing views on how the first half of the season has unfolded in the Valley of the Sun. The New York Mets are on the road as they open up a three-game series with the Arizona Diamondbacks Tuesday night. New York took two of three from the Giants at home over the weekend as they won the rubber game of the set 8-4 Sunday night. Arizona missed a chance at a three-game sweep of the Angels on the road over the weekend as they fell 5-2 in the series finale Sunday afternoon. Last season, the Mets took four of the six meetings, including taking two of three on the road in the most recent set April 22-24, 2022.
