Marte had missed the first week-plus of game action due to a groin injury. Initially, there was some thought that he might miss Opening Day, but unless he re-injured the groin or suffered another injury, that would seem unlikely as he has three weeks to get ready. That is generally enough time for a major league hitter to prepare for the season.
The Mets (+140) are expected to be in a spirited battle with the Atlanta Braves (+135) and the Philadelphia Phillies (+300) for supremacy in the National League East this season. Whether or not veteran ace starting pitchers like Justin Verlander and Max Scherzer can stay healthy and make 50+ starts will likely go a long way toward determining their division fate this season.
