Tonight, the Mets will try to right the ship as they take on their NL East foes, the Atlanta Braves. After winning 5 straight, the Mets have now dropped 3 of 4. Pelfrey who has been effective this year, will be taking on Jurrjens tonight.
Jurrjens sound unfamiliar? You are not alone. There are no current Mets that have Plate Appearances against him. He played with Detroit last year and now is with the Braves. So far this season, he has pitched 4 games (25.1 IP) and has posted a 2-2 record, 3.20 ERA, 9 BB, and 21 K's.
Pelfrey also has good numbers through 3 starts this year posting a 2-0 record in 17.0 innings, 3.18 ERA, 6 BB and 9 K. There are Braves that do have stats against Pelfrey:
Francoeur 0-5
Johnson 1-5
Chipper 1-4
McCann 3-7
Teixeira 1-4
Pelfrey is up! The Mets are home! (Generally not a statistical good thing) Lets Go Mets!
