Milwaukee Brewers (7-4) at New York Mets (5-5) 1:10pm TV: CW11 Radio: WFAN
Jeff Suppan (1-0) vs. Oliver Perez (1-0)
What to watch: This is another important game to win a home series. They don’t want to lose home series, especially this early in the season. Oliver Perez has been terrific in his first two starts. He’s pitched 11.2 innings, 0 runs, 4 BB, 10 K’s. Jeff Suppan has done almost as well in his first two starts so this could end up being a good pitching match up.

Ben Sheets (1-0) vs. Johan Santana (1-1)
What to watch: This is a big-time premium pitching match up, ace vs. ace. Luis Castillo should return to the lineup for the Mets and Jose Reyes will probably be out with a tight hamstring.

Manny Parra (1-0) vs. Nelson Figueroa (0-0)
What to watch: The Brewers have some talent on their team. It won’t be an easy series for the Mets. Nelson Figueroa is auditioning for a semi-permanent spot in the rotation.
Philadelphia Phillies (4-5) at New York Mets (3-4) 7:10pm TV: SNY Radio: WFAN
Adam Eaton (0-0) vs. John Maine (0-1)
What to watch: The Mets need to win the rubber game of the series to prevent losing a home series to division rival Phillies. John Maine looks to rebound from a poor first start after having a terrific spring.
Philadelphia Phillies (4-4) at New York Mets (2-4) 7:10pm TV: SNY, ESPN2 Radio: WFAN
Kyle Kendrick (1-0) vs. Mike Pelfrey (0-0)
What to watch: Although it’s early in the season, the Mets really do need a win to take this three game series from the Phillies. They don’t want to lose two series in a row so early to division rivals. Mike Pelfrey had a very rough spring and is only pitching by default, due to injury to El Duque. He needs to impress or he might not get another start.
Philadelphia Phillies (3-4) at New York Mets (2-3) 1:10pm
Jamie Moyer (0-0) vs. Oliver Perez (1-0)
What to watch: The last home opener at Shea Stadium. Oliver Perez hopes to keep his groove going from his last start in Florida. Jamie Moyer at 45 years old brings his soft-tossing style to Shea against the Mets lineup.
New York Mets (2-2) at Atlanta Braves (2-3) 1:30pm TV: SNY Radio: WFAN-AM
Johan Santana vs. John Smoltz
What to watch: I thought John Maine vs. Tim Hudson would be a good pitching match-up but it didn’t turn out that way. Santana and Smoltz are both headed for the National Baseball Hall of Fame. Smoltz is already in. Santana is well on his way. The Mets don’t want to drop a two-game series in Atlanta. They need a win today to remain above .500.
