The New York Mets have come out blazing to start the 2025 season, winning 18 of their first 25 games—including a seven-game win streak capped off by Wednesday night’s victory over the Phillies. With a dominant five-game lead in the NL East, the largest divisional cushion in MLB, the Mets have already delivered several thrilling moments this year, including walk-off wins and late-game heroics. They’ve also been nearly unbeatable at home, making Citi Field a fortress early in the season.
Following their dramatic win over Philadelphia, MLB shared some historic news: the Mets’ 12-1 start at home is the best in franchise history. The league also noted that New York had just swept the Phillies, owns the top record in baseball, and is riding a seven-game winning streak.

A big reason for the team’s home dominance has been its elite pitching. The Mets’ pitching staff has posted an outstanding 2.34 ERA in Queens—the best home ERA in the league. Their +25 run differential over 13 home games ranks fourth-best in MLB. For comparison, they went 46-35 at Citi Field last year with a .549 winning percentage. Based on their early pace, they’d finish 75-6 at home—an unrealistic number, but one that speaks volumes about how tough they’ve made it for visiting teams this year.
