The Mets get a look at Matt Moore this afternoon who was traded at the deadline this year for a package of prospects and Matt Duffy.

With the Rays this season he was 7-7 over 21 starts and 130.0 innings with a 4.08 ERA. Since he was with the Rays for the vast majority of his career, it is not a surprise that this afternoon with be Matt’s first start against the Mets, however there are quite a few Mets who have seen him before in a game:
