In their last outing against Baltimore Orioles at Citi Field, they secured a win with 8 hits and 4 runs, showcasing their ability to capitalize on scoring opportunities. Their pitching staff has been notably effective as well, maintaining a solid ERA and demonstrating control over opponents' hitters.

The team's hitting statistics reveal an impressive .405 average in one of their recent games, highlighting their ability to get on base and create scoring opportunities. This offensive prowess is complemented by their disciplined approach at the plate, as evidenced by a low strikeout rate and high on-base percentage (OBP). The bullpen has also contributed significantly to recent successes with an ERA of 4.5 in one instance but showed improvement in another game with no earned runs allowed over two innings.

However, given the Mets' recent batting performance and strategic plate discipline, they might just have what it takes to turn this venue advantage into an offensive showcase.

Defensively, the Mets have been nearly flawless with no errors in several past games indicating strong fielding capabilities that could thwart many of San Diego's attempts to put runs on the board.
