The Mets lost again last night as their downward spiral continues, but in what has also become a theme, they did rally late. The Mets were losing 7-1 going into the 9th largely due to a poor start from Tommy Milone but the Amazin’s were able to scrap together 3 runs thanks in large part to a double by Smith and a triple by Rosario. The Mets will look to get back in the win column tonight behind Chris Flexen.
Chris Flexen is already making his 6th start of the season. Where has the time gone? I’m not really sure, I’ve lost all sense of time since mid-July, thank you Mets. Anyway he is 2-2 over 5 games and 22.0 innings with a 6.55 ERA, 7.27 FIP and 2.000 WHIP. In his last two starts however he has tossed 10.1 innings allowing 5 runs off 11 hits and 8 walks leading to an ERA of 4.35, which is trending in the right direction (however the OBP against him is still .396, so not good).
The Mets bats will get a look at Zack Godley who is 5-6 over 18 starts and 112.0 innings with a 3.13 ERA, 3.27 FIP and 1.089 WHIP. His FIP is a full run lower than his previous best and his WHIP is nearly .200 points lower than his previous season best. That being said, he’s coming off a rougher start where he allowed 4 runs off 9 hits and 2 walks in 5.1 innings, but still struck out 10. When he faced the Mets in May he held the Mets to 1 run and 1 hit (with 5 walks) in 6.2 innings. The Mets have the following numbers against him:
- Conforto 0-3
- d’Arnaud 0-3
- Flores 0-1
- Reynolds 0-1
Lets Go Mets!
