The Mets try to avoid the sweep today as they finish up their set against the Red Sox. After winning 7 games straight, the Mets have dropped two close games in a row to the Red Sox which is coupled yesterday with a Nationals win yesterday. The Mets had chances yesterday and they couldn’t cash in, hopefully that changes today.
Noah Syndergaard is 8-6 over 19 starts and 115.2 innings with a 3.19 ERA. He hasn’t pitched too deep in his last two starts lasting 5.0 innings in each and allowing a combined 5 ER between the two. His three best starts in his last 6 though all came at home. Syndergaard has never faced the Red Sox and has never faced any of their hitters in a major league game before.
The Mets batters get a look at Wade Miley who is 10-10 over 26 starts and 153.2 innings with a 4.51 ERA. His last four starts have been a sandwich where his two in the middle were quite good and the buns of this sandwich, including his last one, saw him give up 5 ER. The last time he faced the Mets was back in 2013 where he shut the Mets out over 5.2 innings. The Mets have the following numbers against Miley:
- Uribe 5-22, 2 2B
- Cuddyer 4-17, 2 2B, 3B
- Murphy 3-9, 2B
- Wright 2-6
- Tejada 2-5
- Lagares 1-3, 2B
- Harvey 2-2, 2B
Let’s Go Mets!
