The Mets had a terrible June, but are undefeated in July! On Sunday Matz and company defeated the Marlins, avoided the sweep and guaranteed Mets fans more than a day of not knowing the sting of defeat. Now the Mets find themselves north of the border to finish the home/away set started earlier this year with the Jays.
Wheeler will get the start for the Mets. He is 2-6 over 15 games and 88.2 innings with a 4.47 ERA, 3.67 FIP, 1.331 WHIP, 85 ERA+. He is coming off a strong start, shutting out the Pirates in 7.0 innings allowing 5 hits and a walk. It was the second 7.0 inning shutout performance in June for Zack. In May he faced the Jays and it was ugly as he allowed 6 runs over 4.0 innings from 7 hits and 3 walks. The Blue Jays have the following numbers against Wheeler:
- Donaldson 2-4, BB
- Solarte 1-3
- Granderson 1-3, 2B
- Smoak 2-3, 2B, HR
- Pillar 1-2
The Mets will get Marco Estrada who is 4-7 over 16 games and 89.1 innings with a 4.53 ERA, 4.41 FIP, 1.299 WHIP and 93 ERA+. In his last two starts he has allowed 6 runs, 5 earned, over 12.0 innings. He did not face the Mets back in May but some Mets have seen him in games before:
- Bruce 7 -23, 2B, 4 HR
- Frazier 7-22, 2B, 2 HR
- Reyes 5-14, 2B, 3B
- Cabera 1-8
- Mesoraco 2-8
- Cespedes 3-6, 2B
- Bautista 1-3, HR
Let’s Go Mets!
