John Maine and Jon Niese will face the Marlins in the other two games of the season-opening series, April 7-8, at Citi Field.
Mike Pelfrey and Oliver Perez will follow.

Mets general manager Omar Minaya is still hoping that shortstop Jose Reyes will be able to play on Opening Day.
"We haven't ruled it out yet, no," Minaya said. "I'm guessing the next step is going to be live BP (batting practice). He looks good. He wants to bring it to the next level."
Minaya's comments are curious because he said on Saturday that he did not think it was wise to rush the shortstop "just to have him for one game."

The Mets are unlikely to have shortstop Jose Reyes in the lineup for Opening Day.
New York has largely skirted around the issue.
"I can't tell you he's not going to be ready," general manager Omar Minaya said Saturday.
Reyes only returned to camp with his teammates a few days ago.
"We're not going to rush for the sake of one game," Minaya said. "Having him play the whole [or the vast majority of the games] is the most important thing."

Pedro Feliciano wants to be the setup man for the Mets heading into the 2010 season.
"I just want to be the setup man," Feliciano said. "I don't want to be the lefty specialist. ... I want to be the setup man. I want to be the eighth-inning guy, and I want to prove to the organization that I can pitch to righties like I pitch to lefties."
Over the last four seasons, Feliciano has a 3.04 ERA in an average of 79 games per year.
"I see [J.J.] Putz is gone, and nobody's set up as the setup man," Feliciano said. "I want to get that position. I want to win it. I'm working with the righties like I'm doing with the lefties. And I just want to leave Spring Training as the setup man."
