Game Preview: Mets vs Braves

The only way for the Braves to retake first place this series was to win all five games – and that’s now impossible!

The Mets took the opener last night 6-4 thanks to muscle and Edwin Díaz. Pete Alonso and Vogelbach went back to back while Naquin had his best game as a Met hitting two homers. Díaz recorded a six out save to shut the door! We are fairly confident this means Díaz will be unavailable tonight, but it should mean that he’s good to go for one of the two games on Saturday.

The Mets have a real opportunity to push Atlanta back a bit in the standings taking last night’s success through the weekend. Taijuan Walker will look to do just that tonight on the mound. Over 18 starts and 103 1/3 innings, Walker has a 2.79 ERA, 3.35 FIP, 1.132 WHIP and a 143 ERA+. In his last two starts he has allowed six runs over 11 2/3 innings (4.63 ERA) from 14 hits and three walks.

Tonight will be Walker’s first start against the Braves this season. Last year he made three starts totaling 13 innings with a 3.46 ERA. The Braves have the following career numbers against him:

  • Robbie Grossman 5-13, 2B, HR, BB, 2 K
  • Marcell Ozuna 1-5, 2B, 2 BB, K
  • Ozzie Albies 1-4, 2 BB, 2 K
  • Austin Riley 3-6, HR, K
  • Dansby Swanson 0-6, K
  • Adam Duvall 0-5
  • Matt Olson 0-5, BB, K
  • Ronald Acuna Jr. 1-4, 2 K
  • Eddie Rosario 0-3, K
  • Ehire Adrianza 0-2, 2 K

The Mets bats look to keep their offense alive against Ian Anderson tonight. Over 20 starts and 101 innings, Anderson has a 4.99 ERA, 4.23 FIP, 1.505 WHIP and an 85 ERA+. He also leads the league in walks at 49 – a stat that is hopefully not lost on a Mets team that knows how to work a count. There were four starts in July where Anderson was great. Over those four starts he allowed four runs over 21 2/3 innings. This includes his last start where he allowed no runs and only a hit over six innings against the Cardinals. However, on July 24th, Anderson allowed seven runs from eight hits in three innings against the Angels. The vast majority of Anderson’s games this year fall into two categories. They were either great or terrible – very few in between games.

Anderson’s one start against the Mets this year was one of his better starts. He held the Mets to only one run over 5 1/3 innings despite allowing five hits and walking four batters. The Mets have the following numbers against him:

  • Starling Marte 2-10, 3 BB, 2 K
  • Francisco Lindor 1-9, 2 BB, K
  • Pete Alonso 2-10, 2B, K
  • James McCann 5-9, 2B, HR, BB, K
  • Jeff McNeil 0-9, 2 K
  • Brandon Nimmo 0-3, 3 BB, 2 K
  • Darin Ruf 1-4, 2 BB, K
  • Tyler Naquin 1-4, 2B, BB, K
  • Eduardo Escobar 1-2, 2B, BB
  • Daniel Vogelbach 1-3, K

Game Preview: Braves vs Mets

The most important series of the season is here! The Mets and the Braves will match up for five games this weekend. Both teams will actually play nine games over their next 15. These two series together will have a huge say in which team gets the division title at the end of the season.

The Mets rebounded after a disappointing Tuesday with an onslaught of runs on Wednesday afternoon. Pete Alonso and new Pete Alonso (Vogelbach) both homered in the 9-5 win. The Braves also lost yesterday, giving the Mets a 3.5 game cushion going into this weekend’s series.

Carlos Carrasco has made 20 starts and pitched 111 2/3 innings with a 3.79 ERA, 3.43 FIP, 1.307 WHIP and a 105 ERA+. In his last three starts, Carrasco has allowed no runs over 18 2/3 innings, scattering 15 hits and six walks while striking out 14 batters (2.58 FIP). Overall in July, Carrasco made five starts, tossing 30 innings, with a 0.90 ERA and 2.65 FIP.

One of Carrasco’s best starts this season came against the Braves. Carlos pitched eight shutout innings on May 3rd where he struck out five batters. The Braves have the following numbers against Carrasco:

  • Eddie Rosario 12-34, 2 2B, 2 HR, 5 BB, 9 K
  • Robbie Grossman 5-15, 2 2B, 4 BB, 3 K

  • William Contreras 2-5, HR, K
  • Austin Riley 0-4, 2 K
  • Ronald Acuna Jr. 1-3, 2B, BB
  • Ozzie Albies 1-3

The Mets bats draw Kyle Wright for the series opener. Over 20 games and 122 2/3 innings, Wright has posted a 2.93 ERA, 3.38 FIP, 1.149 WHIP and a 144 ERA+. Kyle has pitched 19 2/3 innings over his last three starts, allowing six runs (exactly two in each start) while scattering 19 hits and three walks (2.75 ERA, 3.83 FIP). Wright has allowed 11 homers this season, and five of those homers have happened over his last four starts.

Wright pitched seven innings against the Mets back on May third. He held the Mets to the three runs from nine hits and a walk. The Mets have the following career numbers against Wright:

  • Jeff McNeil 7-12, 2 2B
  • Brandon Nimmo 3-10, HR, BB, 2 K
  • Pete Alonso 2-8, HR, BB, 2 K
  • Francisco Lindor 1-5, HR, BB, K

Yesterday was vintage deGrom, right down to the Mets offense. Jacob deGrom made his long awaited 2022 debut yesterday and looked great over five innings of work. The Mets bats, who were just overloading teams the last couple of days, racking up the hits, only mustered one run. So the Mets seven game winning streak was snapped and this afternoon they’ll try to start another winning streak while taking the series from the Nationals.

Chris Bassitt takes the mound for the Mets today. Over 19 games and 115 innings, he has a 3.83 ERA, 3.79 FIP, 1.130 WHIP and a 104 ERA+. His last start was his first rough one in a while, where he allowed four runs from six hits and four walks over six innings against the Marlins. Its worth noting that three of those runs came in the first inning and the fourth run came in the second. After that he settled in for the rest of his outing.

The last time he faced the Nationals was his first start of the season where he held the Nationals to three hits and no runs over six innings. The Nationals have the following numbers against Bassitt:

  • Nelson Cruz 4-14, 3 2B, 2 BB, 3 K
  • Alcides Escobar 4-13, 2B, 2 BB, K
  • Maikel Franco 1-5, 2 K
  • Luke Voit 2-5, 3 K
  • Cesar Hernandez 1-5, K
  • Riley Adams 0-2, K
  • Victor Robles 0-2, K

The Mets bats will get a look at a familiar face – Anibal Sanchez. Over three starts and 15 2/3 innings, Sanchez has a 7.47 ERA, 6.75 FIP, 1.660 WHIP and a 53 ERA+. His last start was his roughest one yet where he allowed six runs from six hits and two walks over 5 2/3 innings against the Cardinals. Sanchez didn’t play in 2021 and in 2020 he faced the Mets twice, allowing eight runs from 10 hits over eight innings. The Mets have the following numbers against him:

  • Eduardo Escobar 3-26, 2B, BB, 7 K
  • Starling Marte 4-17, HR, 4 K
  • Francisco Lindor 4-14, 2B, HR, BB, K
  • Jeff McNeil 1-11, 2B, BB, K
  • Brandon Nimmo 2-8, HR, 3 BB, K
  • Pete Alonso 5-9, 2B, 2 HR, BB
  • Tyler Naquin 1-8, 2B, 4 K
  • Mark Canha 1-5, BB, 2 K

I find the immediate moments after the trade deadline to be a bit of a let down, even in years when the Mets have a wild deadline. There’s something about the anticipation of a trade that seemed impossible until it happened. After the deadline – all of that stops.

There’s no let down this year after the deadline for Mets fans. We get to go from one of the most exciting days of the year into one of the most anticipated evenings of the year – Jacob deGrom’s 2022 debut! The ace of the Mets staff returns tonight after he was shutdown in spring due to a stress reaction. He returns to a first place Mets team that is currently on a season best seven game winning streak!

Jacob deGrom was having a historic 2021 before he got bit by the injury bug. Over 15 games and 92 innings, deGrom had a 1.08 ERA, 1.24 FIP, 0.554 WHIP and a 377 ERA+. He had a career best 14.3 K/9 rate an absurd 13.27 K/BB rate. For context, his career mark is a 5.10 K/BB. His only game against the Nationals last season was a complete game shutout where he held the Nationals to two hits and nothing else while striking out 15 batters. The Nationals have the following numbers against him:

(Note: This article was written at 8:45 in the morning, some players below may have been traded)

  • Cesar Hernandez 6-26, 4 BB, 7 K
  • Maikel Franco 6-25, 2 2B, 4 K
  • Juan Soto 3-15, 2B, HR, 3 BB, 4 K
  • Victor Robles 3-15, 2 2B, 2 BB, 7 K
  • Joe Ross 0-8, 6 K
  • Josh Bell 0-6, BB, 3 K
  • Nelson Cruz 1-2, K

The Mets will get a look at rookie Cory Abbott tonight, making his first start of the season. Over three games pitched this year, Abbott has pitched four innings allowing a run on two hits while striking out six batters. The 26 year-old righty was drafted by the Cubs in 2017 and made his debut with the Cubs last season. The Giants purchased his contract in April and a couple of weeks later the Nationals got him off waivers.

Overall in AAA between multiple organizations, Abbott pitched 34 1/3 innings over 12 games including eight starts with a 4.98 ERA and 1.544 WHIP. A few Mets have briefly seen him in a major league game:

  • Starling Marte 0-1, BB, K
  • Luis Guillorme 0-1
  • Francisco Lindor 0-1
  • Tyler Naquin 0-0, BB
  • Tomás Nido 0-1

The Mets swept the Marlins over the weekend. The Braves swept the Diamondbacks over the weekend. The trade deadline is tomorrow! And the Mets play baseball tonight!

The Mets are playing the Nationals at a very interesting time – the trade deadline. Last year the Nationals had a sell-off and they looked poised to move additional pieces this year before tomorrow’s deadline. As of writing (8:00 AM this morning), no major moves have happened for DC yet. Josh Bell is most likely to be traded (at one point in time, the Mets were looking at him). Then there is Juan Soto. Will the Nationals be moved by a proposal to trade their star? Will Soto stick around to see what a new ownership group can offer him over the winter? How much time will Bell or Soto see on the field tonight? We will get a front row seat to #HugWatch tonight!

Max Scherzer gets the start at his old ballpark this evening. Over 13 games and 82 innings this year he has a 2.09 ERA, 2.50 FIP, 0.902 WHIP and a 191 ERA+. Since coming off the injured list, Scherzer has pitched 32 1/3 innings over five starts allowing only five runs from 23 hits and four walks (1.39 ERA, 1.79 FIP) while striking out 45 batters.

Scherzer’s season debut this year was against the Nationals in DC where he allowed three runs from three hits and a walk over six innings. The Nationals have the following career numbers against Max:

  • Cesar Hernandez 11-51, 4 2B, 2 BB, 14 K
  • Alcides Escobar 12-43, 2B, 2 HR, 9 K
  • Maikel Franco 4-29, HR, 4 BB, 4 K
  • Nelson Cruz 9-24, 2B, HR, 7 K
  • Josh Bell 4-9, 2 2B, HR, 3 BB, K
  • Juan Soto 0-2, BB

The Mets bats will get a look at Patrick Corbin. Over a 21 starts and 105 1/3 innings, Corbin has a league leading 14 losses (he also led the league with 16 losses last season). He has a 6.49 ERA, 4.62 FIP, 1.766 WHIP and a 60 ERA+. Corbin has allowed a league leading 149 hits and 76 earned runs this season. Over his last three starts he has allowed 17 runs, 16 earned, over 10 2/3 innings from 24 hits and four walks while striking out 15 batters.

Corbin performed well against the Mets in his first two starts against them this season, holding the Mets to two runs over nine innings from eight hits and six walks. In his last start against the Mets he allowed seven runs from 12 hits and two walks. The Mets have the following numbers against him:

  • Pete Alonso 12-33, 2 2B, 4 HR, 8 BB, 11 K
  • J.D. Davis 11-35, 3 2B, 4 HR, 4 BB, 9 K
  • Starling Marte 9-33, 2 2B, HR, 2 BB, 8 K
  • Jeff McNeil 8-25, 2B, 2 BB, 4 K
  • Brandon Nimmo 5-23, 2 BB, 10 K
  • Francisco Lindor 6-23, 2B, 6 K

Game Preview: Mets @ Marlins

The Mets start off their weekend series with the Marlins with a face-off against one of the best pitchers this season – Sandy Alcantara.

The Mets are coming into Miami on a three game win streak and a two game sweep of the Yankees, including a walk-off win on Wednesday. There was a ton of energy in Queens the last two nights. It feels like a safe assumption that the energy level, at least from the fans in attendance, this weekend will be quite different.

Chris Bassitt gets the start for the Mets. Over 18 games and 109 innings, Bassitt has a 3.72 ERA, 3.74 FIP, 1.101 WHIP and a 108 ERA+. In his last six starts (40 2/3 innings) Bassitt has allowed only 11 runs from 29 hits and five walks while striking out 41 batters leading to a 2.43 ERA and 2.83 FIP. This stretch includes back to back to back starts against the Marlins where he posted a 3.66 ERA from eight runs over 19 2/3 innings. (Three of those runs came when Bassitt was pulled out of a game with the bases loaded and the next pitcher immediately gave up a grand slam). The Marlins have the following numbers against Chris:

  • Avisail Garcia 1-9
  • Bryan De La Cruz 5-7, 3 2B, HR, BB, K
  • Miguel Rojas 3-8, K
  • Jacob Stallings 1-8, 3 K
  • Joey Wendle 1-6, 2B, BB
  • Willians Astudillo 0-6
  • Jesus Aguilar 2-6, K
  • Jon Berti 0-5, BB, 2 K
  • Jesus Sanchez 1-6, HR, 2 K

The Mets bats will get another look at Sandy Alcantara this evening. He’s made 20 starts this season, tossing a league leading 144 1/3 innings including two complete games. He has a 1.81 ERA (league leading), 2.78 FIP, 0.901 WHIP and a 226 ERA+ (league leading).

Sandy had a rough start against the Mets back on June 24th where he allowed five runs, four earned from six hits and no walks over seven innings. Since then he has pitched 38 innings over five starts with a 1.42 ERA and 2.12 FIP. That includes a start against the Mets where he shut the Mets out over seven innings. The Mets have the following numbers against him:

  • Pete Alonso 5-27, 3 2B, HR, BB, 7 K
  • Jeff McNeil 8-28, 2B, HR, 3 BB, 3 K
  • Brandon Nimmo 3-26, 2B, 3 BB, 5 K
  • Francisco Lindor 7-22, 2 2B, HR, BB, 2 K

  • Eduardo Escobar 2-18, K
  • Dominic Smith 2-17, 2 K
  • Luis Guillorme 5-12, 4 K

Game Preview: Yankees vs Mets

The Mets go for the two-game sweep tonight at Citi Field against the Yankees!

Last night was the first time in the history of the Subway Series that both teams each hit two homers in the first inning of the game. The Yankees tried to drain the life out of stadium in the first inning with two solo shots, the Mets responded with four runs in the bottom of the first. Taijuan Walker battled back and turned in six good innings against one of the best offenses in baseball and the Edwin Díaz recorded a four out save.

All of last night’s energy now gets passed to the most intense pitcher on the Mets staff – Max Scherzer. Scherzer has made 12 starts and pitched 75 innings this year with a 2.28 ERA, 2.48 FIP, 0.893 WHIP and a 176 ERA+.

  • Marwin Gonzalez 2-5
  • Joey Gallo 0-3, K

The Mets bats will face Domingo German tonight who is making his second start since returning from the 60-day injured list. German was diagnosed with right should impingement syndrome in March this year, which is a similar injury that he suffered last year as well. In his first start back last week, he allowed five runs from six hits and a walk over three innings against the Astros while tossing 58 pitches. The Mets have the following career numbers against him:

  • Mark Canha 6-9, 2B, HR, BB, K
  • Francisco Lindor 0-7, 2 BB, 2 K
  • Brandon Nimmo 1-3, 2B, BB, 2 K
  • Pete Alonso 1-3, 2B, K
