Insight: Wright is off to another good start, batting .293 with six homers, 28 RBI, 10 steals and a .885 OPS. Wright has hit more homers off of Braves pitching than any other team (30), but this isn't a good matchup.

Description: Mets 3B David Wright is one of the few hitters who thrives when facing Phillies left-hander Cole Hamels.
Insight: Wright is a career .327 hitter with four homers, 10 RBI and a 1.006 OPS against the left with a great changeup. Wright is 3-for-8 in the first two games of the series and batting .308 this season with a .946 OPS. He's a must start.
 
4/17/2013 10:58:00 AM
Description: Mets 3B David Wright is just 2-for-15 (.133) against Colorado hurler Jon Garland.
Insight: Wright homered twice in the first game of Tuesday's doubleheader with the Rockies - his first two long balls of the season. He had been on fire in the WBC before a rib injury slowed down his spring training. We expect him to get back to that level soon, but probably not in Wednesday's unfavorable matchup.

Description: Scratch that. Don't start any Twins or Mets on Sunday. Their afternoon game at Citi Field has been rained out.
Insight: The two teams will get together for a makeup date on August 19th. It's a shame for David Wright owners who were expecting the third baseman to go bonkers against Minnesota righthander Kevin Correia.

Description: New York third baseman David Wright has destroyed Twins starter Kevin Correia throughout his career.
Insight: He's hitting .765 in 17 lifetime at bats against the former Pirates righthander. Three of his 13 hits against Correia have gone for home runs. Make sure Wright is in your lineup on Sunday.
 
4/8/2013 10:30:00 AM
Description: Mets third baseman David Wright probably isn't excited about facing Phillies starter Roy Halladay as he's a career .167 hitter (.4-for-24) with 12 strikeouts and no homers.
