The Mets look to keep the good times going in Atlanta this weekend! After taking 3 of 4 from Miami and then 2 of 3 from Washington, the Mets went out to Ohio and swept the Reds over 3 games. Now they turn to Robert Gsellman again as his extended look continues. On the season he is 2-1 over 3 games and 2 starts over 15.2 innings with a 2.87 ERA. After allowing 4 ER over 6.0 innings against Philly, he rebounded in his last start holding the Nationals to 1 ER over 6.0 innings, 3 walks and 4 K’s. This will be Gsellman’s first start against the Braves and first time facing anyone on the Braves’ roster in a major league game.
Julio Teheran will make the start for the Mets and he is quietly putting together the second best season of his career despite a 5-9 record. He’s made 25 starts with a 3.01 ERA over 158.2 innings. In his last two starts he has allowed 2 ER over 13.0 innings while striking out 15 batters. He’s 2-1 in as many starts against the Mets and 17.1 innings of work with a 2.60 ERA. The Mets have the following numbers against Julio:
- Granderson 5-22, 2B, HR
- Flores 3-16, HR
- d’Arnaud 2-15
- Bruce 3-15, 2 HR
- Campbell 2-10
- Reyes 1-7
