Game Preview: Marlins vs Mets

The Mets and Marlins play game two today on Fox. Last night the Marlins
took a quick 3-0 lead on the Mets but the Amazin's roared back with two
quick runs, and then scored another two runs to put the Mets in the
lead for good. Today is a big day for the Mets as they get part of
their rotation back with Niese as he replaces Perez who was placed on
DL (or purgatory, whatever you prefer).

Niese will be making his first start since May 16th. On the season he
is 1-2 over 41.1 innings and has an ERA of 4.79 and in his last three
starts he has pitched 12.1 innings and had an ERA of 8.76. He has
pitched twice against the Marlins this year and has allowed 8 runs, 5
earned over 8 innings of work. The Fish have these numbers off of Niese:

The Marlins starter will be Nate Robertson (4-4, 4.30 ERA) and in his
last three starts he has pitched 17 innings and has an ERA of 4.15.
That number is the result of of one great start where he allowed no
earned runs over 6 innings and did terrible in two other starts. He has
had success against the Mets in his two starts against them with a 2-0
record over 10.2 innings with a 2.53 ERA. The Mets have these numbers
against Nate:
