Mets game today postponed: When is the makeup doubleheader and who’s pitching next?

The New York Mets’ game against the Baltimore Orioles scheduled for today has been postponed due to inclement weather. The teams will instead play a split doubleheader on Thursday, with makeup details announced shortly.

Fans holding tickets for today’s game will need to exchange them for another date, as they will not be automatically valid for the doubleheader. The pitching rotations for both teams are expected to be adjusted accordingly.

This marks the second weather-related postponement in the Mets-Orioles series this week, following Tuesday’s delayed start due to thunderstorms. The teams will look to complete the three-game set tomorrow.

Mets game today postponed: When will the rescheduled doubleheader take place?

The New York Mets vs. Baltimore Orioles game scheduled for July 9, 2025 has been postponed due to inclement weather. The teams will play a split doubleheader on Thursday, July 10th to make up the missed game. The first game will begin at 12:35 PM ET, while the second game is slated for 6:35 PM ET at Oriole Park at Camden Yards.

Major League Baseball typically schedules split doubleheaders with separate admission for each game to maximize attendance. Tickets for the postponed game will need to be exchanged through the Orioles box office for either game of the doubleheader or other remaining home games.

This marks the second weather-related postponement for the Mets this season, following a rainout earlier in the year. Teams often prefer split doubleheaders over traditional ones as they reduce player fatigue while allowing both games to be played under proper conditions.

Who’s pitching in the Mets-Orioles doubleheader tomorrow?

While official announcements haven’t been made, we can make educated predictions about the probable pitchers for both games of Thursday’s doubleheader based on recent rotation patterns.

The Mets were scheduled to start David Peterson (6-4, 3.18 ERA) on Wednesday before the rainout. He’ll likely take the mound for Game 1, while Game 2 would either go to Kodai Senga (who pitched Tuesday) on short rest or see a bullpen game approach.

Expected pitching matchups:

Baltimore will likely counter with Tomoyuki Sugano (6-5, 4.44 ERA) in the opener and Dean Kremer in the nightcap. Teams sometimes adjust rotations after rainouts to give their best pitchers normal rest periods.

Thursday’s doubleheader will have different broadcast arrangements for each game. The afternoon matchup will air on SNY and MASN, the regional sports networks for the Mets and Orioles respectively. The evening game will be nationally televised on ESPN+ as part of MLB’s streaming package.

Local radio broadcasts will be available on WCBS 880 AM (Mets radio network) and 98 Rock FM/WBAL (Orioles radio network) for both contests.

Broadcast schedule:

• Game 1 (12:35 PM): SNY, MASN
• Game 2 (6:35 PM): ESPN+
• Radio: WCBS 880 AM, 98 Rock FM/WBAL

Out-of-market fans can watch through MLB.TV with subscription, though blackout restrictions will apply for local viewers. The split nature of the doubleheader means viewers will need different access methods for each game.

How much do Mets-Orioles doubleheader tickets cost?

Ticket prices for the rescheduled games vary significantly based on seating location and secondary market demand. As of Wednesday evening, the average resale price for Game 1 seats was approximately $35-$75, while Game 2 tickets averaged $50-$100.

Fans holding tickets to Wednesday’s postponed game must exchange them at Oriole Park’s box office for equivalent seats to either Thursday game, pending availability. The Orioles policy states that parking passes must also be exchanged separately.

Current secondary market prices:

Important note: Tickets from the postponed game won’t automatically grant admission to the doubleheader – exchanges must be made in person. Some fans report frustration with this policy, especially those traveling from out of town who can’t visit the box office on short notice.

Teams often adjust their rosters for doubleheaders to accommodate pitching needs or provide fresh position players. The Mets and Orioles may both utilize the 27th man rule, which allows teams to add an extra player for doubleheaders.

New York might recall a reliever from Triple-A Syracuse to bolster their bullpen, especially if they plan a bullpen game for the second contest. Baltimore could activate an additional hitter or pitcher depending on their specific needs against Mets pitching.

Roster moves must be made by 9 AM ET on doubleheader days, so announcements should come early Thursday morning. Fans should watch for official team releases or social media updates regarding call-ups.
