The Mets (67-92) open their final series of the year tonight against the Astros (74-85) at Citi Field.

…the Mets would have to sweep the Astros to avoid finishing below .500 at home for the first time since 2004…

Angel Pagan will lead off, followed in order by Luis Castillo, David Wright, Carlos Beltran, Jeff Francoeur, Fernando Tatis, Omir Santos, and Anderson Hernandez.

John Maine (6-6, 4.72 ERA) will start for the Mets.

Wandy Rodriguez (14-11, 2.97 ERA) will start for the Astros.
