The Mets faced off with the Cardinals right before the All-Star break in St. Louis and now they are coming northeast to face the Mets in Queens. This weekend the Mets put a beating on the Rockies in the first two games, winning 14-2 and 9-3 before get wiped themselves yesterday in a game where Matz allowed 7 runs in 1.0+ innings of work.
Wheeler gets the start for the Mets. He is 3-6 over 76.0 innings and 15 starts with a 4.86 ERA, 4.73 FIP and 1.513 WHIP. His last start was in St. Louis where he allowed 2 runs over 6.0 innings off 8 hits and a walk.
