As they strive to secure a top spot in the competitive NL East, the Mets are facing the Chicago White Sox who are significantly behind in the AL Central standings. With Shane Smith on the mound for Chicago, the team has struggled in his previous starts, including giving up three earned runs in his last outing. Meanwhile, the Mets have Trevor Megill starting, who recently showed impressive skill by striking out ten batters in just 4.2 innings against the Red Sox.
