Game Preview: Mets @ Brave

Today starts another big week in Mets land. The Mets travelled to Atlanta after yesterday’s crushing of the Phillies to start a four game series with the Braves. Currently the Mets have a 5.5 game lead in the division and this week is a perfect opportunity to expand the lead. The Mets and Braves clashed for a five game series a little over a week ago where the Mets took four of the five games and gave themselves the breathing room they now enjoy.

Carlos Carrasco will kick the series off for the Mets. In 22 starts and 124 1/3 innings, Carrasco has a 3.76 ERA, 3.42 FIP, 1.279 WHIP and a 106 ERA+. So far in August he has made two starts pitching 12 2/3 innings allowing five runs (3.55 ERA, 3.28 FIP) from 11 hits and two walks while striking out 15. This includes a start against the Braves where he allowed three runs over six innings of work. If you extend our look all the way out to the start of July, Carrasco has made seven starts with a 1.69 ERA.

Overall against the Braves, Carrasco has made to starts allowing three runs over 14 innings of work, scattering 10 hits and three walks while striking out 11 batters. The Braves have the following career numbers against him:

  • Eddie Rosario 12-37, 2 2B, 2 HR, 5 BB, 9 K
  • Robbie Grossman 5-15, 2 2B, 4 BB, 3 K
  • Ehire Adrianza 2-13, 4 K
  • Matt Olson 5-11, 2 2B, 2 HR, BB, K
  • Orlando Arcia 1-9, 2B, 2 BB, 4 K
  • Dansby Swanson 0-9, 3 K
  • Adam Duvall 2-8, 2B, K
  • Travis d’Arnaud 2-7, 3 K
  • Austin Riley 0-6, BB, 3 K
  • Ronald Acuna Jr. 2-6, 2B, HR, BB, K
  • Marcell Ozuna 1-6, K
  • William Contreras 2-5, HR, K

Spencer Strider gets to make another start against the lucky Mets. Strider started the last game of the series against the Mets against deGrom. After the game, Strider made comments deflecting his performance to the Mets being lucky and getting more of the calls. He’s sure to be amped tonight and the Mets batters will probably also be energized.

Over 24 games and 13 starts this season, Strider has pitched 89 2/3 innings with a 3.11 ERA, 1.97 FIP, 1.048 WHIP and a 135 ERA+. His last time out, against the Mets, he allowed four runs from six hits and two walks over 2 2/3 innings while striking out 5. The performance was strikingly different than his previous time against the Mets where he held them to one run from five hits over 4 2/3 innings and his last outing raised his season ERA from a 2.79 to 3.11. The Mets have the following career numbers against him:

  • Francisco Lindor 4-7, 3B, K
  • Brandon Nimmo 3-6, HR, BB
  • Pete Alonso 1-4, 2B, 2 BB, 3 K
  • Mark Canha 2-4, 2B, BB, 2 K
  • Daniel Vogelbach 0-4, BB, 3 K
  • Luis Guillorme 1-3, 2 K
  • Jeff McNeil 0-3
  • Eduardo Escobar 1-1, 2B, BB
  • Starling Marte 0-2, K

Game Preview: Phillies vs Mets

The Mets hung on for the 1-0 win yesterday and go for the series victory this afternoon at Citi Field! Jacob deGrom was Jacob deGrom yesterday, pitching six innings of shutout baseball while striking out 10 batters. One of the weaker areas for the Mets this year has been the bridge between starter and Edwin Díaz. Yesterday Lugo and May locked the Phillies down before getting the game to trumpet time.

The Braves yesterday though played two games against the Marlins, winning both, so they actually still managed to close the gap a bit. They now have a 5.5 game lead for the top the wild card spot and are 5.5 games back in the division. The Mets will look to keep that gap at least 5.5 today.

Chris Bassitt will get the start for the Mets today. Over his 21 starts and 130 innings this season he has a 3.39 ERA, 3.60 FIP, 1.123 WHIP and a 117 ERA+. He is coming off of a dominating start against the Reds where he allowed one unearned run from scattering eight hits and a walk over eight innings. In his last two starts he hasn’t allowed an earned run over 15 innings.

Bassitt has faced the Phillies twice this year, both back in May. In his first start, in Philly, he allowed a run on a solo homer and five hits over 5 2/3 innings. In his second start he allowed one run from two hits and three walks over six innings. The Phillies have the following numbers against him:

  • Nick Castellanos 7-20, 3 2B, HR, BB, 2 K
  • Kyle Schwarber 3-8, 2B, BB, 3 K
  • Alec Bohm 1-6
  • Rhys Hoskins 1-5, 2B, K
  • Jean Segura 2-5, HR, BB
  • Garrett Stubbs 0-5
  • J.T. Realmuto 0-2, K

The Mets will take on an old friend today in Zack Wheeler. Wheeler has made 21 starts and pitched 126 2/3 innings with a 2.63 ERA, 2.91 FIP, 1.026 WHIP and a 156 ERA+. He has been particularly good lately. In his last four starts he has allowed five total earned runs over 27 innings (1.67 ERA, 3.67 FIP) from 16 hits and six walks while striking out 29 batters. His one weakness lately has been the homerun ball. In that same stretch he has allowed four homers, one a game, and if you go back one more start, he has allowed six homers in his last five starts. He has allowed only five homers in previous 16 starts.

Wheeler has faced the Mets twice this year. He opened his season against the Mets, holding them to one run from two hits and a walk (including a homer) over 4 2/3 innings. Then at the end of May he allowed three runs, only one earned over six innings from four hits and three walks. The Mets have the following numbers against him:

  • Brandon Nimmo 8-28, 2 2B, HR, 5 K
  • Pete Alonso 8-19, 2B, 2 BB, 3 K
  • Jeff McNeil 3-21, BB, 6 K
  • Francisco Lindor 4-17, 2B, 4 K
  • James McCann 3-16, 3 K
  • Eduardo Escobar 2-13, BB, 4 K
  • Luis Guillorme 2-12, 2B, 2 BB,2 K
  • Starling Marte 4-13, 2B, 3B, K
  • Darin Ruf 0-4, 3 BB, 4 K
  • Mark Canha 0-5
  • Daniel Vogelback 0-4
  • Tyler Naquin 1-3

Game Preview: Phillies vs Mets

The opener of the series didn’t go the Mets way – despite an amazing out from Max Scherzer the Mets couldn’t get runs across the plate. The Mets had a frustrating loss last Friday too before they dominated for the rest of the weekend – let’s hope the same thing happens today!

Jacob deGrom will make his third start of the season this evening for the Mets. Over 10 2/3 innings he’s allowed three runs from four hits and a walk while striking out an amazing 18 batters. In his last start he was perfect going into the 6th inning. After recording two outs he allowed a walk followed by a homer. At one point in the game the Braves swung and missed on 16 consecutive sliders – deGrom was just on another level.

In two starts against the Phillies last year he allowed only two runs from seven hits and three walks while striking out 12 over 12 innings. The Phillies have the following career numbers against deGrom:

  • Bryce Harper 12-41, 2 2B, 2 HR, 10 BB, 15 K
  • J.T. Realmuto 4-30, 2B, 10 K
  • Johan Camargo 7-26, 2B, HR, 2 BB, 9 K
  • Rhys Hoskins 4-21, 2 2B, 8 K
  • Jean Segura 4-21, 2B, 6 K
  • Kyle Schwarber 1-12, BB, 6 K
  • Alec Bohm 0-6, 4 K
  • Nick Castellanos 0-3, 2 K

The Mets face an old foe in Aaron Nola this evening. Over 22 games and 144 2/3 innings, Nola has a 3.17 ERA, 2.84 FIP, 0.947 WHIP and 130 ERA+. In his last two starts he has allowed two runs from 11 hits and three walks over 12 innings while striking out 13. Nola has faced the Mets three times this year. The first time he allowed three runs from three hits (two homers) and three walks over 3 1/2 innings. Then at the end of April he allowed three runs from seven hits over six innings. In his very next start he locked the Mets down, allowing only one run over seven innings – in a game the Mets won 8-7 (you know the game). The Mets have the following career numbers against Nola:

  • Brandon Nimmo 11-36, 3B, HR, 11 BB, 14 K
  • Jeff McNeil 10-34, 2B, HR, 4 BB, 8 K
  • Pete Alonso 13-37, 3 2B, 4 HR, 3 BB, 11 K
  • Francisco Lindor 4-17, 2 2B, BB, 5 K
  • Starling Marte 6-18, HR, 6 K
  • Eduardo Escobar 2-9, 2B, 2 BB, 4 K
  • James McCann 1-11, 5 K
  • Luis Guillorme 2-7, BB, 2 K
  • Mark Canha 1-6, 2B, K
  • Tyler Naquin 2-3, HR, BB, K
  • Daniel Vogelbach 2-3

Game Preview: Phillies vs Mets

The Mets are about to embark on another tough, important stretch of games. Over the next the 12 days, the Mets will play 13 games against the Phillies, Braves and Yankees. First up – the Phillies for a three game weekend set.

The Phillies have been surging lately, winners of eight of their last 10 games and are 13 games above .500. However, they have been surging at the same time the Mets have been surging who are also winners of eight of their last ten so there are 10.5 games separating the two clubs.

Max Scherzer gets to kick off this stretch of games. Over 15 games and 95 2/3 innings this season, Scherzer has a 1.98 ERA, 2.45 FIP, 0.899 WHIP and a 203 ERA+. He’s coming off of a strong start against the Braves where he shut their offense out over seven innings, scattering four hits while striking out 11. Since returning from the injured list, he has made seven starts, totaling 46 innings with a 1.37 ERA.

Scherzer faced the Phillies a lot before he landed on the injured list. In his first start against them, he allowed one run from five hits and three walks while striking out seven. At the start of May he faced the Phillies in back to back starts where he allowed seven runs from 15 hits while striking out 16. The Phillies have the following numbers against him:

  • J.T. Realmuto 7-58, 2B, 2 HR, 4 BB, 18 K
  • Jean Segura 12-33, HR, BB, 8 K
  • Rhys Hoskins 1-26, 2B, BB, 14 K
  • Nick Castellanos 2-17, 2 2B, BB, 8 K
  • Kyle Schwarber 4-11, 2 HR, 4 BB, 4 K
  • Alec Bohm 5-15, 5 K
  • Johan Camargo 3-14, 5 K
  • Edmundo Sosa 2-8, 4 K

The Mets bats will get another look at Ranger Suarez tonight. Ranger has made 19 starts and pitched 100 1/3 innings this year with a 3.68 ERA, 3.89 FIP, 1.365 WHIP and a 111 ERA+. Suarez missed a few starts in July due to back spasms, and he was effective when he pitched. Over three games and 16 innings he allowed three unearned runs, no earned runs, from 11 hits and two walks. As a comparison point, his last time out he allowed three earned runs from seven hits and two walks over 5 1/3 innings against the Nationals.

Suarez hasn’t faced the Mets since his first start of the season in Philly. In that game the Mets got three runs from five hits and a walk over 2 2/3 innings. The Mets have the following career numbers against Suarez:

  • Brandon Nimmo 3-7, 2 BB, K
  • Pete Alonso 0-5, 2 BB, K
  • Starling Marte 2-6, BB, K
  • Eduardo Escobar 3-5, 2B, HR
  • Francisco Lindor 0-3
  • Mark Canha 1-2, K
  • Luis Guillorme 1-2
  • James McCann 0-2
  • Jeff McNeil 0-2, K
  • Tyler Naquin 0-1

Game Preview: Reds vs Mets

The Mets go for the series sweep of the Reds this afternoon at Citi Field! Lindor and McNeil got the offense started for the Mets last night with a couple of homers and Ruf added in some critical insurance with two RBI’s as the Mets took the second game of the series.

Taijuan Walker gets the start this afternoon and he’ll look to put his last outing behind him. Last time out he battled an injury due to a collision with a runner on the bases. He just didn’t look right after that. He was tagged with eight runs from seven hits including two homers, which was more runs than his previous four starts combined. It was also enough to raise his season ERA from a 2.79 to a 3.45.

Walker has already faced the Reds once this year where he allowed three runs from four hits and a walk over six innings while striking out nine. The Reds have the following career numbers against him:

  • Mike Moustakas 1-10, 3 K
  • Joey Votto 1-5, HR, BB, K
  • Jonathan India 0-2, BB, 2 K
  • Albert Almora 0-2, 2 K
  • Matt Reynolds 0-1
  • Nick Senzel 1-2

For the second time this series, the Mets will see a pitcher making his 2022 debut. Today T.J. Zeuch, a 6’7″ right-handed pitcher, gets the start. Zeuch made his major league debut with the Blue Jays back in 2019. Between 2019 and 2021 he’s pitched in a total of 13 games, including seven starts, at the major league level. Over those 49 innings he has a 4.59 ERA, 5.79 FIP, 1.551 WHIP and a 99 ERA+.

In July of last year, the Cardinals purchased his contract from the Blue Jays. In May of this year he was released by the Cardinals and then got picked up by the Reds. With the Cardinals AAA club in Memphis this year, Zeuch made five starts with a 11.64 ERA. Things went much better with the Reds AAA team where he made five starts with a 3.63 ERA. He has not faced any Mets players yet in a major league game.

There was no slowing down the Mets last night while they took the opener of the series against the Reds! Now the Mets try to take the series tonight behind Carlos Carrasco as he takes on Mike Minor.

Starling Marte got the party started early last night with a two run homer in the first inning and the Mets never looked back. Chris Bassitt threw eight innings of one run ball, giving the bullpen some much needed rest and Adam Ottavino pitched a scoreless ninth inning to give Díaz a breather.

Carlos Carrasco has thrown 117 2/3 innings over 21 starts this season posting a 3.82 ERA, 3.44 FIP, 1.283 WHIP and a 104 ERA+. Before his last start, he had three consecutive starts where he allowed no runs (18 2/3 innings) from 15 hits and six walks while striking out 14 batters. His last time out he kept a very good Braves lineup to only three runs from four hits and a walk in a game the Mets won 6-4. The Reds have the following career numbers against Carrasco:

  • Mike Moustakas 3-25, 2B, 4 BB, 7 K
  • Joey Votto 6-16, 2 2B, HR, 4 BB, 4 K
  • Austin Romine 2-10, 2B, 4 K
  • Kyle Farmer 0-4, K
  • Matt Reynolds 0-3, 2 K
  • Jonathan India 1-1, HR, BB
  • Nick Senzel 0-2, K

It’s worth noting that both Moustakas and India left yesterday’s game with leg injuries. The general vibe, at least this morning, was that both were precautionary moves.

The Mets bats will get a look at Mike Minor tonight. Over 56 2/3 innings in 11 starts, Minor has a 6.19 ERA, 6.57 FIP, 1.571 WHIP and a 74 ERA+. In his last two starts he has allowed five runs over 10 2/3 innings from nine hits and six walks while striking out two (4.22 ERA, 5.36 FIP). Homeruns are crushing Minor this year. He’s already given up 16. For comparison he gave up 26 over 158 2/3 innings last year. Thus his homerun rate per nine innings is at a career worst 2.5, way about his career average at 1.3. The Mets have the following career numbers against him:

  • Darin Ruf 5-14, HR, 4 BB, 4 K
  • Mark Canha 6-18, 2B, 3 HR, 3 K
  • Francisco Lindor 1-11, 2 K
  • Daniel Vogelbach 2-7, 2 HR, BB, 2 K
  • Eduardo Escobar 1-6, 2B, 2 K
  • James McCann 1-5, 2B, 2 K
  • Starling Marte 0-3, K
  • Tyler Naquin 0-2

Game Preview: Reds vs Mets

The Mets had the weekend they needed taking four of five games from the Braves thus increasing their division lead to 6.5 games. Now the Mets pivot their attention from the Braves to the Reds before a series with the Phillies.

Similar to a week or so ago when the Mets went from playing Subway Series games to playing in Miami, there’s the potential for a shift in the energy in the stadium tonight. It’s natural, the Mets are coming off of the biggest series of the year to the Reds.

Chris Bassitt will look to keep the energy high and the good times rolling as he makes his 21st start of the season. Over 122 innings this season he has a 3.61 ERA, 3.71 FIP, 1.123 WHIP and a 110 ERA+. He’s coming off of one his best starts of the season where he shutout the Nationals for seven innings, scattering six hits and a walk. The Reds have the following career numbers against him:

  • Mike Moustakas 3-12, 2B, HR, K
  • Jake Fraley 0-4, 3 K
  • Nick Senzel 0-4, 2 K
  • Kyle Farmer 0-3, 2 K
  • Donovan Solano 0-3, 2 K

Justin Dunn makes a homecoming of sorts today when he starts against the Mets at Citi Field. Dunn was drafted by the Mets in 2016 and was a highly touted prospect in the Mets system (who battled through a slew of injuries). He was a critical piece of the trade sent Edwin Díaz and Robinson Canó to the Mets before the 2019 season (the big prospect in that trade being Jarred Kelenic). Dunn was traded again before the start of this season in a package of minor league players for Eugenio Suárez and Mets-fan favorite Jesse Winker.

Dunn has been working his way back through an injury again this season and joins a Reds rotation that just traded away Luis Castillo and just suffered an injury to Hunter Greene. Over his eight minor league rehab starts this season, he has pitched 28 innings with a 6.75 ERA. Last season in the majors he made 11 starts and pitched 50 1/3 innings with a 3.75 ERA, 4.74 FIP, 1.311 WHIP and a 111 ERA+. The only player on the Mets roster who has seen Dunn in a major league game is Mark Canha, who is 0-2 against Dunn with a walk.

Game Preview: Braves vs Mets

What a difference a day makes! Yesterday completely washed away Friday night as the Mets swept a split doubleheader against the Braves. The Braves are now 5.5 games back and now the Mets have an opportunity to start crushing the moral and momentum of the Braves by taking today’s game, which would mean taking four of five games this weekend.

It’s also deGrom day! Happy deGrom day! Jacob will make his second start of the season today. Earlier in the week he made his 2022 debut where he held the Nationals to one run from three hits over five innings while striking out six. Unfortunately, the Mets bats also remembered it was deGrom day and gave him the classic deGrom treatment of not scoring. The bullpen behind deGrom also blew up.

Jacob made two starts against the Braves last season allowing three runs from six hits and two walks over 12 innings (2.25 ERA, 0.667 WHIP) while striking out 20 batters. The Braves have the following career numbers against deGrom:

  • Marcell Ozuna 10-41, 2 2B, HR, BB, 15 K
  • Ronald Acuna Jr. 8-27, 2B, 2 BB, 9 K
  • Dansby Swanson 4-25, 2 2B, 3 BB, 13 K
  • Austin Riley 3-12, 2 HR, 5 K
  • Orlando Arcia 2-6, BB, 2 K
  • Ehire Adrianza 1-4, 3B, 3 K
  • Eddie Rosario 1-2, HR

The Mets draw Spencer Strider in the series finale. Spencer has pitched in 23 games and 12 starts this season pitching a total of 87 innings. He has a 2.79 ERA, 1.97 FIP, 0.989 WHIP and a 151 ERA+. As a starter only he has pitched 62 2/3 innings with a 3.02 ERA and 0.973 WHIP. Since June 26th he has made seven starts totaling 39 1/3 innings allowing nine runs, a 2.06 ERA. However five of those nine runs came in one start against the Nationals, so he’s been even better than his numbers suggest over that stretch.

This includes a start against the Mets where he allowed one run over 4 2/3 innings from five hits and three walks. After a series like the Mets and Braves, it is important for the Mets today to do the same thing to Spencer as they did last time. Make him work early and often and get him out of the game quickly to Atlanta’s overtaxed bullpen. The Mets have the following career numbers against Spencer:

  • Francisco Lindor 2-5, 3B, K
  • Brandon Nimmo 1-4, HR, BB
  • Pete Alonso 0-2, 2 BB, 2 K
  • Mark Canha 1-3, 2 K
  • Daniel Vogelbach 0-3, 2 K
  • Eduardo Escobar 1-1, 2B, BB
  • Jeff McNeil 0-1

Game Preview: Braves vs Mets, Game 2

The night cap in tonight’s doubleheader is a marquee matchup. A battle of the Max’s. Scherzer vs Fried. It’s actually the first of two straight games boasting a pitching duel between two starters as tomorrow deGrom takes on Spencer Strider. The baseball universe for the next 24 hours or so will be centered at Citi Field.

Max Scherzer over 14 starts and 88 2/3 innings has a 2.13 ERA, 2.64 FIP, 0.925 WHIP and a 188 ERA+. He’s coming off an average (for anyone else) start in DC where he allowed three runs, two earned, over 6 2/3 innings. Since returning from the injured list, Scherzer has a 1.62 ERA and 2.24 FIP over six games and 39 innings of work. This includes a start against the Braves in Atlanta where he held the Braves to one run from three hits over seven innings while striking out nine. The Braves have the following numbers against Scherzer:

  • Marcell Ozuna 12-44, 6 2B, 2 HR, 4 BB, 13 K
  • Dansby Swanson 7-41, 3 2B, HR, 2 BB, 16 K
  • Travis d’Arnaud 5-28, 2B, 3B, 2 HR, 11 K
  • Ozzie Albies 4-25, HR, 3 BB, 10 K
  • Ronald Acuna Jr. 7-23, 2B, 3B, 2 HR, BB, 7 K
  • Austin Riley 2-10, HR, 4 K
  • Adam Duvall 1-9, HR, 6 K
  • Robbie Grossman 1-4, 2 BB, 2 K
  • Eddie Rosario 1-5, K
  • Ehire Adrianza 1-3
  • Matt Olson 0-3, 3 K
  • Orlando Arcia 2-3, 2B
  • Michael Harris 0-2

The Mets bats will get another look at Max Fried. Fried has made 21 starts logging 132 1/3 innings this season. He has a 2.58 ERA, 2.47 FIP, 1.073 WHIP and a 162 ERA+. His success this year comes from league leading HR/9 rate at 0.4, which is half of his career mark at 0.8. Interestingly, he also leads the league with seven wild pitches, which already matches his total from last season.

Fried is coming off of a strong start against the Diamondbacks where he held them to no runs and four hits over seven innings of work. Before that he allowed eight runs over 18 innings (4.00 ERA, 2.22 FIP) from 21 hits and five walks. This includes a start against the Mets where he allowed two runs over five innings. The Mets have the following numbers against Fried:

  • Pete Alonso 5-24, 2B, 2 HR, 5 BB, 10 K
  • Jeff McNeil 8-22, 3 2B, 5 K
  • Brandon Nimmo 3-15, 2 2B, 4 BB, 6 K
  • Francisco Lindor 2-15, HR, 4 K
  • Eduardo Escobar 3-11, 3 K
  • Starling Marte 4-11, 2 2B, 2 K
  • James McCann 0-7, 2 BB
  • Darin Ruf 1-8, BB, 2 K
  • Luis Guillorme 3-6, 2 2B, BB
  • Mark Canha 2-5, HR, 2 BB, K
  • Daniel Vogelbach 0-3, K
  • Tyler Naquin 0-3, 2 K

Game Preview: Braves vs Mets, Game 1

Last night was rough – the Braves took an early 8-0 lead and never looked back. For the Mets, the game felt unlucky. Walker had a bizarre injury that seemed to impact his performance, the Braves robbed the Mets of an early two run homer, there were base running mistakes, etc. The Mets were able to claw back a lot in the game and make the final score 9-6.

Today is an important day for the Mets, they really need to split the doubleheader (at least). David Peterson will get the first attempt of making that a reality. Peterson has pitched in 17 games and 73 2/3 innings this year with a 3.54 ERA, 4.04 FIP, 1.290 WHIP and a 113 ERA+. Peterson has been more effective as a starter than as a reliever this year (albeit, a small sample size as a reliever). Over 13 starts (65 2/3 innings) he has a 3.43 ERA and 1.234 WHIP. Over four relief outings (8 innings) he has a 4.50 ERA and a 1.750 WHIP. This is skewed a bit in his outing where he allowed a two run homer and recorded only one out.

In his one start against the Braves this year he allowed four runs, three earned, from four hits and three walks over five innings of work. The Braves have the following career numbers against him:

  • Ronald Acuna Jr. 1-9, HR, 5 BB, 4 K
  • Dansby Swanson 3-12, 2B, 2 BB, 5 K
  • Marcell Ozuna 0-12, BB, 6 K
  • Austin Riley 6-12, 3 2B, BB, 3 K
  • Travis d’Arnaud 0-10, BB, 5 K
  • Ozzie Albies 2-10
  • Adam Duvall 4-8, 2 2B, HR, BB, 3 K
  • Matt Olson 2-5, 2 HR, BB, K
  • Orlando Arcia 0-2, K
  • Michael Harris 0-2, K

The Braves will send out one of their trade deadline acquisitions, Jake Odorizzi, this afternoon. The Braves received Jake from the Astros for Will Smith. Over 12 starts and 60 innings this year, Jake has a 3.75 ERA, 3.61 FIP, 1.1150 WHIP and a 102 ERA+. After two less than stellar starts in mid-July (10 1/3 innings, nine earned runs), Jake bounced back in his last start holding the Mariners to two hits and no runs over seven innings. The Mets have the following career numbers against him:

  • Francisco Lindor 9-25, 4 2B, 2 HR, 2 BB, 5 K
  • Mark Canha 3-13, 2B, K
  • James McCann 1-11, 4 K
  • Eduardo Escobar 1-9, K
  • Starling Marte 3-9, 3B, BB, K
  • Tyler Naquin 2-10, 5 K
  • Pete Alonso 0-2
  • Jeff McNeil 1-2
  • Brandon Nimmo 0-2, 2 K
