“Preview: Mets vs. Reds in Apple TV’s ‘Friday Night Baseball’ Doubleheader”
The Mets are set to take on the Reds in Cincinnati as part of Apple TV’s second ‘Friday Night Baseball’ doubleheader of the 2024 MLB season. The Reds have started the season strong, winning both of their series against NL East opponents, the Nationals and Phillies. Right-hander Frankie Montas has been a standout player for the Reds, boasting an impressive 0.77 ERA through two starts. The young core of the team, including Elly De La Cruz and Spencer Steer, has also been performing well, with Steer hitting a remarkable .435 average and 1.219 OPS in the first six games.
On the other hand, the Mets have had a rough start to the season, going 0-4 in their first four games. Despite having talented players like Pete Alonso, Brandon Nimmo, and Francisco Lindor in their lineup, the Mets have struggled to score runs, managing one run or less in three of their first four games. Cincinnati dominated the Mets last season, winning four out of six games and taking the season series for the first time since 2013.
