The Major League Baseball schedule makers have not done the New York Mets any favors when it comes to the interleague competition the Mets will have to face in 2011.
In addition to hosting the Angels and Athletics at Citi Field and facing the Yankees twice in the annual Subway Series, the Mets will travel to Detroit and Texas for Interleague series in June. Those series add a degree of difficulty and highlight the Mets' 2011 schedule, which Major League Baseball officially released on Tuesday.
