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.

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.
