After a tough series against the Braves over last weekend, the Mets responded by winning two games against the Royals despite some fairly major unexpected surprises (Colon for example). Tonight, Matt Harvey has a shot of redemption against the Atlanta squad from his last outing. He’s 4-9 on the year over 14 starts and 79.1 innings with a 4.76 ERA. After three starts where he logged 20.0 innings allowing 2 ER, he allowed 4 ER over 6.0 innings vs the Braves. The Braves have the following numbers against Harvey:
- Freeman3-15, 3 2B
- Markakis 1-10
- Pierzynski 6-9, 2B
- Aybar 1-6
- Peterson 2-7, 2 2B
- d’Arnaud 1-3, 2B
- Flowers 0-3
The Mets bats will try to get some consistency going against Matt Wisler who is 3-7 over 14 games and 13 starts this season with a 4.23 ERA while pitching 83.0 innings. He opened up June to two horrid starts that saw him allowing 13 ER over 8.0 innings, in his last start he settled down to 2 ER over 8 hits in 6.2 innings of work. His best start of the season by far was against the Mets at the start of May where he held the Mets to one hit and two walks over 8.0 innings. The Mets have the following numbers against Matt:
- Granderson 1-12
- Cespedes 2-9, 2B
- Conforto 3-8
- Flores 1-6
- Cabrera 2-5
- Loney 2-7
Let’s Go Mets!
