The Rays and Mets will meet for the first time since 2015 when the Rays took two of three in Tampa Bay. The Rays are just 3-9 (.250) in interleague games this season, second worst record among AL teams, while the Mets are right above them at 3-6 (.333), the second worst record among NL teams.

The Rays were shut out in their last game against Miami and have failed to score more than three runs in six of their last eight games. They have 45 games with three runs or fewer this season, third most in the AL.

The Mets have lost 15 of their last 17 home games, scoring more than four runs just once in that span. They are batting .215 at home this season, on pace to be the third-worst home batting average by any team in the live-ball era.

Jacob deGrom leads the NL in ERA (1.84) and opponent slugging percentage (.292) among qualifying pitchers but the Mets are just 6-11 when he starts. The Mets' bullpen has put up an ERA of 8.16 when deGrom starts.

Wilson Ramos is slashing .327/.397/.596 in his last 15 games including 12 RBI. He is batting .353 with runners in scoring position, second-highest mark among catchers this season (Jonathan Lucroy, .360; minimum 50 PA).

Astrubal Cabrera leads the Mets in home runs (15), RBI (48) and batting average (.284, min. 100 PA). He is slashing .355/.437/.581 in his last 15 games with four homers and 12 RBI.
