The 2008 Mets are through their first two series of the regular season and its time to take a look at some of their numbers which, surprisingly, are not as bad as one might suspect.
Mets Runs: 30
Mets Runs Per Game: 6
Opponents Runs: 21
Opponents Runs Per Game: 4.2
Runs Given Up By Mets Starters: 11
Starters Innings Pitched: 27.1
Average Innings Per Game By a Starter: 5.47 or about 1 or 2 batters in the sixth inning.
Its pretty remarkable that the Starters innings pitched per game is that high considering Pedro's performance and Maine's. So it really shows the impact that Santana's 14 innings have had. Also his performance and Ollie's help lower the ERA of the Mets Starters down to 3.62 a game, which is better than what the Mets on average give up per game (this would be thanks to the PH Grand Slam and other late inning blasts).
By the way, the Tigers are 0-6
