The Mets wrap up the west coast portion of their road trip today in San Francisco. Yesterday they beat the Giants 5-2 behind another phenomenal start by Jacob deGrom and timely offense. Before they head into an off day and a series in Miami, they will have a chance at a sweep behind Rafael Montero.
Montero is 0-4 over 15 games and 2 starts this year pitching 26.1 innings with a 6.49 ERA, 4.28 FIP and 2.089 WHIP. It’s the WHIP that really speaks to the problems with Montero over the last two years. He is just allowing a ton of base runners. He had a short outing against the Giants this year recording two outs with no hits, no walks and recording a strikeout. The Giants have the following numbers against Montero:
- Hill 0-2, BB
- Span 0-3
- Tomlinson 0-1
The Mets bats will try to keep the hits going against Matt Moore who is 3-7 over 85.0 innings and 15 starts while posting a 5.82 ERA, 4.50 FIP and 1.576 WHIP. In four starts in June this year, Moore has allowed 20 runs, 19 earned in 20.0 innings of work. He’s coming off his best start this month allowing 3 runs off 7 hits and a walk in 7.0 innings. Earlier this year he faced the Mets allowing 3 runs over 7 hits and a walk in 5.1 innings. The Mets have the following numbers against Matt:
- Reyes 1-12, 2B, 3 BB
- Cabrera 3-10, BB
- Cespedes 4-9, 2B, 3B, HR
- Granderson 0-7, BB
- Flores 1-5, 2B
- Bruce 1-3
- Conforto 1-2, BB
- TJ Rivera 1-3, 2B
Let’s Go Mets!
