 Tampa Bay and New York meet for the first time since 2018, when the Rays took two of three at Citi Field. Tampa Bay's .213 batting average in interleague games this season is the third-worst mark in MLB (Cin, .192; Min, .193).

 The Mets dropped two of three at home against the Braves over the weekend, being outscored 24-9. New York is scoring an average of 4.56 runs per game against its own division this season but is averaging 5.71 runs per game against the AL East.

 The Rays took four of five games from Thursday to Sunday in Baltimore. Tampa Bay started the season 4-6 as visitors with a 5.82 road ERA. Since then, the Rays are 14-4 on the road and their staff has posted a 3.24 ERA away from Tropicana Field.

 Michael Conforto is batting .328 this season after a .257 batting average last season. That .071 improvement in batting average is the second-largest jump in the majors this season, behind only Marcell Ozuna's +.076 (min. 3.1 PA/Team G both seasons).

 The Rays are 7-3 in their last 10 games with a lineup led by Brandon Lowe and Nate Lowe, who have combined for 22 hits, five home runs, 14 RBI and a 1.059 OPS over that span.

 The Rays have MLB's best record in one-run games at 12-5 (.706). The Mets are the third-worst team in games decided by one run with a 5-9 (.357) record (Pit, 6-14, .300; Bos, 4-8, .333).

Whatever slim hopes the New York Mets have of making it into the expanded postseason format probably rides on the right arm -- or maybe the right hamstring -- of staff ace Jacob deGrom.
The winner of the last two National League Cy Young awards, deGrom left his previous start in Philadelphia with a right hamstring spasm. But he tossed a bullpen session Saturday and deemed himself ready to go for Monday.

Mets hoping for deGrom magic against Rays

NEW YORK (AP)  The Tampa Bay Rays are ready for a party - and mum on the details.
''I'm not saying nothing,'' closer Nick Anderson said with a laugh.
