Mets Aim to Extend Home Dominance in Showdown Against Angels Tonight
Hey everyone, if you're tuning into baseball tonight, you’ll definitely want to keep an eye on Citi Field where the New York Mets are set to kick off a three-game series against the Los Angeles Angels. This matchup is especially exciting as it's the first time these two teams are meeting this season, and both squads have something to prove heading into the stretch of the MLB regular season.
The Mets, sitting second in the NL East with a 56-44 record, are coming in with a strong 34-16 record at home. That home field advantage could be the key factor as they try to build momentum and stretch their winning ways in Queens. The Angels, meanwhile, hover just below .500 at 49-50 and sit fourth in the AL West. Their road record isn't terrible at 25-27, but Citi Field is no easy venue for visitors.

First pitch is scheduled for 7:10 p.m. ET, and you can catch the action live in-market on SNY or FanDuel Sports Network West.

FuboTV and Sling (with MLB.TV added) are also great options, especially if you’re tuning in from out of market.
Now, let’s talk pitching. The Mets will send Kodai Senga to the mound. He’s been lights out this season, boasting a 7-3 record with an impressive 1.39 ERA. On the Angels’ side, Tyler Anderson gets the start, entering the game with a 2-6 record and a 4.34 ERA. It’s a clear advantage for New York on paper, especially considering Senga's ability to dominate hitters with a 1.13 WHIP and 74 strikeouts so far.
As for the bats, Pete Alonso continues to be a force for the Mets, with 21 home runs and 77 RBIs while hitting .275. He’s day-to-day with a hand issue, so fans will be keeping a close eye on the lineup card tonight. Brandon Nimmo has been steady too, going 11-for-36 over the last 10 games. For the Angels, Taylor Ward has quietly put together a strong season with 23 homers and 24 doubles, while Zach Neto has been red-hot lately with 17 hits in his last 45 at-bats.
It’s going to be a fun one. With both teams still battling for playoff positioning and trying to stay healthy amid long injury lists, every game matters more now. If the Mets can get their offense rolling early—especially with Senga on the mound—they’ve got a solid chance to start this home series off with a win.
Don’t miss it. Whether you’re watching from your couch or streaming on your phone, this is the kind of midseason clash that makes baseball in July so electric.
