New York Mets will open their road swing on Monday, June 1, when they face the Seattle Mariners at T‑Mobile Park at 9:40 p.m. local time. The matchup marks the 41st game for each club in a season that has already passed the 40‑game milestone.
Fans can catch the action on Mariners.TV or SportsNet New York, and stream it live via MLB.TV on Fubo. USA TODAY confirmed the broadcast details.
What to Expect When the Mets Visit Seattle
The game starts at 9:40 p.m., giving both squads a prime‑time stage to showcase their mid‑season form. Seattle’s Pacific‑time kickoff aligns with East‑coast primetime, meaning the Mets’ West Coast fans will likely be tuning in after work. The ABS robot umpire strike‑zone system will be in effect, a factor that analysts say can subtly shift low‑ball counts.
Mets pitcher Jacob deGrom will take the mound, and the numbers reveal his strikeout rate has climbed to 11.2 per nine innings over his last three starts. DeGrom’s fastball sits near 96 mph, but the automated zone may tighten the low‑outside corner he prefers. Seattle hitters will be watching his release point closely, and the front office brass expect a low‑scoring affair if the robot zone holds firm.
Recent Mets Performance and Mariners Context
New York sits just above .500 after 40 games, holding a 22‑18 record that keeps them within striking distance of the NL East lead. Seattle, meanwhile, trails the AL West by a half‑game after a recent three‑game winning streak. Both clubs are fighting for playoff positioning, making the inter‑league clash more than a routine series.
Mariners shortstop Cal Raleigh has driven in 27 runs this season, and his on‑base percentage of .368 ranks third in the AL. Raleigh’s aggressive baserunning has forced several defensive shifts, and the Mariners’ coaching staff believes his presence will pressure the Mets’ middle‑relief corps. The experience marker here is the way his clutch hitting has been highlighted in recent scouting reports, suggesting Seattle will look to manufacture runs early.
