New York Mets and San Diego Padres head-to-head record

The Padres have definitely had the advantage in the last five encounters between the Padres and the Mets, winning four of them, including a recent three-game sweep in late July 2025 in which they outscored New York 19–7. They held the Mets to just one run on July 30, then shut them out 5-0 on July 31 due to their very strong pitching staff.

On August 25, 2024, the Mets defeated the Padres 7-1, but ever since then, the Padres have always found a way to gain the upper hand, whether it is through close pitching contests like the 3-2 victory in August 2024 or offensive power in games with higher runs scored.

This pattern suggests that the Padres will enter the game with confidence and momentum, while the Mets will require a potent offensive response to prevent a recurrence of their recent woes.
