The Mets return to action tonight in their house of horrors, Turner Field in Atlanta. Over the past 15 or so years the Mets have had nothing but nightmares down in Atlanta. It seems that for the life of them, they could not win a game, let alone an actual series.
But tonight the Mets are coming in as the more confident team. It was on a week and a half ago that the Mets finished off a three game sweep of the Braves to open their 2012 season. The Mets starting rotation has been the biggest plus in the early going; second in the NL in ERA and near the top in strikeouts.
The batting order seems to be settling in finally. Ike Davis has a mini two game hitting streak going, including his first home run of the season, to get his batting average over .100. Lucas Duda seems to be warming up a tad as well and both David Wright and Jason Bay will be in the line up tonight, healthy enough from their finger woes.
