The New York Mets and Miami Marlins will kick off their 2023 seasons on Thursday, March 30 at loanDepot park. The NL East rivals may share a division, but not preseason expectations. The Mets are supposed to be one of the best teams in the majors following a spend-happy offseason, while the Marlins are just hoping to compete for a playoff spot after making modest winter additions.
As we're noted elsewhere, MLB is installing a more balanced schedule this year. Division rivals will play one another 14 times a year instead of 19, with every team in the league playing each other at least once. In other words, enjoy these divisional matchups, because they're not going to happen as frequently as they did.
