The Mets have one of the best winning percentages on Opening Day at 34-21 (.618).

NY is coming off its second consecutive playoff appearance, which ended quickly with a 3-0 loss to Bumgarner and the San Francisco Giants in the National League wild-card game last October. Teheran joined Rick Mahler (1985-88) and Greg Maddux (1993-96) as the lone Atlanta pitchers to start four straight season openers.

Collins said Syndergaard will have the blister dried out over the next few days and that the Mets will push his next start back a day, to Sunday, as a precaution.

The Mets stopped a six-game home losing streak against Atlanta - the last-place Braves swept their final two series in Queens previous year - and improved baseball's best record on opening day to 36-20.

"You don't wanna talk about it because you're a Mets fan", one fan said.

Lennon began covering baseball for Newsday as the Yankees' beat writer in 1995, the season the Bombers snapped a 14-year playoff drought by becoming the American League's first wild-card team. "And then we said that was going to be enough". "It's going to be a couple weeks, for sure".

Reyes is ready to fill in at third base — the last Mets player besides Wright to start a season opener at the hot corner was Ty Wigginton in 2004.

Fernando Salas came in to pitch the eighth and retired the Braves in order. "It was great. I was nervous - and that was an awesome feeling".

Noah Syndergaard gets the ball for the Mets today. "I am extremely blessed to have him on this team".

On Monday morning, a promising young starting pitcher for the New York Mets revealed he was injured more seriously than first believed.

According to oddsmakers from online sports book BetDSI, the Mets are -1.5 on the runline and are receiving odds of +140, while the Braves are +1.5 and have odds of -140 on the RL. Atlanta is also 5-1 in its last six road games dating back to previous year and is 19-7 in its last 26 games versus a right-handed starter. "I'm very happy and excited to go back there and get the opportunity to play against my ex-teammates", Colon said through a translator.

Braves: Snitker said injured reliever Mauricio Cabrera (elbow), who features a fastball clocked at over 100 miles per hour, should begin throwing soon. He was 7-10 with a 3.21 ERA overall past year.
