Mets release 2017 schedule

The Mets will open next season on April 3 at Citi Field against the Braves

The Mets have released their full 2017 schedule, which opens with 32 straight games against NL East opponents.

The first non-division opponent will be the Giants, who visit Citi Field from May 8-10.

Other highlights…

    Unless the Marlins are a serious threat next season, New York could be poised for a good start, with the majority of their early-season games against the Marlins, Phillies, and Braves.

    Likewise, the last month of the season — where they’ll have 13 home games and 15 road games — features 16 games against the Phillies, Reds, and Braves, who should all be non-contenders again in 2017.

    The toughest part of the schedule may be a 14-game stretch from June 12-25, when they play the Cubs and Nationals at home before going on the road to face the Dodgers and Giants.
