Padres Start 5-0; Mets Struggle in Opening Series

The San Diego Padres have made a historic start to their season, going 5-0 for the first time in franchise history, with players like Manny Machado emphasizing the importance of maintaining consistency throughout the long season. The New York Mets, however, faced a less auspicious start, losing their first series to the Houston Astros, but remain optimistic given their roster changes, including acquiring Juan Soto. Meanwhile, the New York Rangers face a strategic decision regarding their draft pick, potentially deferring it to benefit from next year's deeper draft class. Additionally, fantasy baseball players are cautioned against overreacting to early-season performances, such as Rafael Devers' initial struggles, which may be attributed to mechanical issues.
