The Mets dropped the opener in Colorado last night behind another underwhelming Matt Harvey start. While he has a few days to figure out what is happening, we turn to Logan Verrett, making a spot start for Steven Matz. Logan Verrett is 3-0 over 10 games and 2 starts this year pitching in 21.1 innings with a 1.27 ERA. His two starts he made on 4/13 and 4/16 were great pitching 12.0 innings, holding opponents to 9 hits, 3 walks while striking out 10. Last year he made a start against the Rockies pitching 8.0 innings holding them to only 1 run! The Rockies have the following numbers against Logan:
- Blackmon 1-3
- Arenado 1-3
- Descalso 0-3
- Garneau 0-2
- Gonzalez 1-3, HR
- LeMahieu 1-3
Eddie Butler is 1-1 over 3 games, 2 starts this season pitching 14.0 innings with a 3.86 ERA. Last year Butler made 16 starts logging 79.1 innings posting an ERA of 5.90 with a 3-10 record. He made one start against the Mets last year and it was brutal. He allowed 6 ER over 7 hits in 4.0 innings of work. The Mets have the following numbers against Eddie:
- Cespedes 1-3, 2B
- Granderson 1-2, HR
- Conforto 1-2
Let’s Go Mets!
