The next part in the preview series in May 2008. In May the Mets will play:
Washington 4 times
Atlanta 3 times
Florida 3 times
Arizona 3 times
LAD 6 times
Cinn. 3 times
Yankees 3 times
Colorado 3 times

In the breakdown, the Mets in May will play 10 games for the second month in a row against teams that were below .500 last year (in April they play 10, but technically its 11 because of March 31st). The Mer ts in total will play 28 games, 15 away and 13 home, 10 vs the east and 18 vs other division plays.
Even though the Mets play 18 games against teams above 500 last year and 9 against playoff teams last year, I feel that this will be a better a month than April because they will play more away and they only will play 10 games vs the East which removes pressure. Furthermore, only 3 of those games will be vs a pre-season contender for the East (the Braves).
