What happened: The New York Mets released tonight's starting lineup on their social channels ahead of first pitch. The post is the club's routine pregame announcement of the batting order and starters for the matchup.

Why it matters: Daily lineup cards signal how the Mets are managing their roster on a given night, from the order of their bats to who gets a rest day. Even routine, they are the first concrete look at how the club plans to attack tonight's opponent.

What to watch: Watch for any late scratches or changes before first pitch, and how the posted order produces at the plate once the game begins.
