Despite dropping Opening Day to the Washington Nationals, the Mets have come on strong of late, winning the next 4 to take an early lead in the NL East. After their closing game against the Baltimore Orioles, the remainder of their April schedule is against NL East opponents:

The Mets will hit the road on Monday, starting their road trip with 3 in Washington before heading to Atlanta for 4. While their pitching is certain to continue to be strong, the Mets will look to keep their offense strong as well, scoring double digit runs in 2 of the first 5, and scoring 33 runs in all 5 games, averaging close to 7 runs per game. Though a small sample size, if the Mets can make an early statement against their division foes, they may be looking at another easy road to October.
