The Los Angeles Angels vs. The New York Mets

May 19-21 at Citi Field in the New York City borough of Queens.

The New York Mets clinched the National League East Division in 2015; however, came up eight games short in 2016. The Mets, like the Angels, had some injury troubles of their own last year. Their pitching staff took multiple hits last season with injuries to David Wright, Jacob DeGrom, Matt Harvey, and Zack Wheeler.

The Mets are looking to get back to taking the NL East back from the Washington Nationals the same way the Angels want to take the AL West from the Texas Rangers. With their pitching staff and Wright healthy, the Mets-Angels series should be a good one to watch.

The Angels will have to face some tough pitching when it comes to the Mets. DeGrom has a career ERA of 2.74 and a career record of 30-22. Noah Syndergaard is also impressive with a career ERA of 2.60 on a 23-16 record.
