The Mets return to Tyler Pill tonight to make a spot start. The Mets are looking to keep the current rotation pattern in the short term, even with the Matt Harvey injury so it’s time for the Dodgers to take their medicine with Tyler Pill. Tyler Pill is 0-2 over 4 games and 2 starts pitching 12.0 innings allowing 15 hits and 4 walks leading to 7 runs, 5 earned. That is a 3.75 ERA, 3.29 FIP and 1.583 WHIP. This will be Pill’s first start against the Dodgers in his career and he has never faced any member of the Dodgers while they were with other teams. That makes sense because Pill made his major league debut this season.
Rich Hill takes the mound for the Dodgers tonight. He’s 3-3 over 8 games and 35.0 innings with a 5.14 ERA, 5.30 FIP and 1.571 WHIP. After a stretch of good starts where he pitched 14.0 innings over 3 games allowing 4 earned runs, he bombed out in his last start allowing 7 runs over 4.0 innings off 8 hits and 2 walks in Cleveland. He’s pitched against the Mets 4 times in his career including two starts allowing 14 hits and 12 ER in 8.0 innings of work. Hill’s work load in general over the last couple of seasons has been spotty due to injury. The Mets have the following numbers against Hill:
- Reyes 3-6
- Duda 0-0, 2 BB
- Granderson 0-2
- Cespedes 0-1
Let’s Go Mets!
