Spring is in the air as the Major League Baseball (MLB) regular season returns with their first pitch at the end of the month.
Last season was a major letdown for fans and bettors at New York sportsbooks when it came to the Mets.
Using Baseball-Reference.com, EmpireStakes.com – your source for NY sportsbook promos - pulled the Mets’ records from the past three seasons to see in which month the team plays the best and worst. Here is what we found out about the Mets’ monthly madness:
This is a breakdown from EmpireStakes.com and won’t be found on the many fine New York betting apps.
Mets Get Hot in July
Based on the data above, the team plays best in July, with a 45-30 record and .600 win-loss percentage. The early months of April (39-29, .574) and May (50-34, .595) also bode well for the Mets, who hope to get off to a good start under new manager Carlos Mendoza.
September (40-40, .500) is the only other month in which they have a .500 record or better. August (39-48, .448) and June (35-46, .432) have been the least successful months for New York.

The Mets open their 2024 campaign with a six-game homestand, with the season opener against the Milwaukee Brewers March 28. The Detroit Tigers follow the Brewers with a three-game set (April 1-3). The Mets then hit the road for the first time for a seven-game trip starting April 5.
