While it hasn’t been the season the New York Mets have hoped for thus far this season, the MLB schedule must roll along, and there’s a big series at Citi Field this weekend as the Los Angeles Dodgers are coming into town.
Before the Dodgers series opener, the New York Mets revealed their lineup, which includes a notable change with Francisco Lindor. The Mets will roll with Sean Manaea (2-5, 4.74 ERA, 81 SO) as the starter in the series opener, while the Dodgers are going with Roki Sasaki on Friday night.

Some notables from the Mets lineup drop:
Juan Soto is back in the lineup as the DH. Luis Robert Jr. is also back in the batting order, and Francisco Alvarez gets the start behind the plate to form a battery with starter Sean Manaea.
The New York Mets are looking to finish the season strong, and picking up a series win against the Dodgers could go a long way for team morale headed into the final two months of the season.
