In what should be a highly competitive game on the baseball diamond, the New York Mets (2-1) will take on the Miami Marlins (0-3) at the Citi Field in a Friday regular season showdown. Alex Sanabia will be taking the mound for the Marlins while Jeremy Hefner will get the ball for the Mets.

The MLB baseball season will continue on for 162 games per team that will be played over the course of 180 days. From April until September, 30 ball clubs will compete for the chance to advance into the playoffs and ideally into the World Series in October.

Over the course of the season, ball clubs in both the American League and National League will face off against each other in six interleague play series. Prior to 1998, the only time the respective scenario could happen was in the Fall Classic.
