Well yesterday was a day to forget. The Mets lost both parts of the double-header, including being swept in the night cap. Meanwhile the Dodgers clinched the homefield advantage. Oh well. The Mets look to finish their regular season today before heading out to LA for the NLDS.
Jacob deGrom gets the start for the Mets. I’m not sure how deep he’ll go since he’ll be starting the first game, but the first game is also on Friday, so maybe he’ll go near regular length? He’s 14-8 over 29 starts with a 2.60 ERA over 187.0 innings. He had a bounce back start his last time out pitching 6.0 innings with 9 K’s. He is 2-2 over 5 games against the Nationals logging 30.1 innings with a 3.26 ERA over 34 K’s. The Nationals have the following numbers against Jacob:
- Harper 7-16, 2 2B, HR
- Desmond 5-16, HR
- Ramos 3-14, 2B, HR
- Werth 1-10
- Escobar 5-10, 2B
- Rendon 0-8
- Zimmerman 3-8, HR
Tanner Roark gets the start for the Nationals, making his 12th start of the year. Over his 39 games he has pitched 105.0 innings with a 4.63 ERA. He made only starts in September logging 25.2 innings over 5 starts with a 4.91 ERA and 0-3 record. He has logged 5.1 innings against the Mets this year allowing 4 runs. The Mets have the following numbers against Roark:
- Murphy 4-17, 2B
- Duda 4-15, 2B
- Granderson 4-13, 3 2B
- E Young 4-13, 2B
- Lagares 2-11, 2B
- Recker 4-6, 2B, HR
Let’s Go Mets!
