New York Mets (36-50) at Toronto Blue Jays (40-46) — Game Preview
The New York Mets bring a 36-50 record into Rogers Centre to face the Toronto Blue Jays, who sit at 40-46 with both clubs well off the pace in their respective division races. Toronto hits .247 as a team this season while New York checks in at .230, though the Mets have hit 96 home runs compared to the Blue Jays’ 86 — a power edge that hasn’t translated into wins.
Juan Soto is the engine of the Mets’ offense, hitting .298 with 17 home runs and 39 RBIs while posting a .408 on-base percentage that stands well above his teammates’, and on the other side, Kazuma Okamoto has been Toronto’s most consistent run producer with 19 home runs and 53 RBIs out of the third-base spot.
Bo Bichette adds another dimension in the Mets’ lineup, driving in 46 runs from the shortstop position while batting .251 through 86 games. With the trade deadline approaching, both clubs sit far enough behind to make roster decisions this month a compelling storyline — the Mets are 14.5 games back in the NL East and the Blue Jays are 11 games behind in the AL East.

New York Mets
Juan Soto — LF. Soto is hitting .298 with 17 home runs and 39 RBIs as the Mets’ primary offensive force, combining power and patience in a way few hitters in this lineup can match. His .408 on-base percentage and .563 slugging mark make him one of the most complete hitters in this afternoon’s matchup.
Bo Bichette — SS. The shortstop has driven in 46 runs while batting .251 through 86 games, carrying much of New York’s run-scoring load from the middle of the order. His .382 slugging percentage reflects consistent extra-base production, and his .296 on-base percentage keeps the lineup moving.
A.J. Ewing — CF. Ewing brings a .275 batting average and a .360 on-base percentage to Rogers Centre, giving the Mets a dependable table-setter atop the order. His .412 slugging percentage adds pop alongside his contact skills, and he has contributed 4 home runs and 19 RBIs in 46 games this season.
Toronto Blue Jays
Kazuma Okamoto — 3B. The third baseman leads Toronto with 19 home runs and 53 RBIs, establishing himself as the Blue Jays’ primary power threat even while batting .236. That RBI total ranks among the highest on Toronto’s roster and anchors the middle of a lineup searching for consistent production.
Ernie Clement — 2B. Clement is hitting .297 this season, making him the Blue Jays’ most reliable contact hitter in the lineup. His .435 slugging percentage exceeds what the raw average alone suggests, and his .320 on-base percentage gives Toronto a capable threat near the top of the order.
Daulton Varsho — CF. Varsho has posted a .258 average with 7 home runs and 22 RBIs through 73 games, providing steady all-around production in center field. His .426 slugging percentage and .328 on-base percentage make him a versatile piece in Toronto’s order, and he has stolen 7 bases without being caught this season.
