The Toronto Blue Jays will continue their campaign against NL East opponents when they open a three-game series against the New York Mets. For the Mets, this series will serve as a much-needed homecoming after six consecutive games on the road to open the season.
Longtime Blue Jay Kevin Gausman is slated to start his second game of the season. The righty has quietly been providing high-level pitching for Toronto since the 2022 campaign, a streak he continued in his first outing of 2025. Gausman allowed only two runs and three hits over six innings of work against the Baltimore Orioles, earning a W next to his name for his troubles. A similar performance is certainly possible against the middle-of-the-pack Mets offense.
New York will have to wait until the second game of this series to call upon their ace, instead entrusting righty Tylor Megill to cross swords with Gausman. Megill's mediocre 2024 numbers did not stop him from putting together an excellent first start of 2025 against the Houston Astros, in which he allowed one run over five innings. The Blue Jays represent another solid challenge as Megill looks to establish himself in New York's rotation.

Blue Jays vs Mets Predictions and Picks
David Delano of Winners and Whiners writes, "Although Gausman was dominant on the road last season, this New York lineup presents some challenges for him. Starling Marte is 8-for-13 (.615) with seven RBIs, and Juan Soto is 8-for-15 (.533) with five RBIs and a home run off of Gausman in their careers. On the other side, Blue Jays hitters have struggled against Megill, batting just .206 (7-for-34) with one home run (Anthony Santander) lifetime. Megill also threw six shutout innings of one-hit baseball against Toronto last season. The Mets bullpen is also off to a terrific start, posting a 1.64 ERA (2nd in MLB) through the first six games, while Toronto's bullpen is 22nd with a 5.47 ERA. As tempting as the road dog is, the Mets are the play."
The concerns surrounding Gausman's past performances against players in the New York lineup are valid. Soto, in particular, seems to have his number, putting up fantastic stats at the plate against Gausman over several years. Trusting Megill to put together a second good start in a row is a bit dubious, but it is still worth counting on the Mets to start their first win streak of the season.
