The Mets and Marlins open a series tonight in Queens. It will be the first 7 games in Queens to be played against the Marlins between now and the rest of the season. Yesterday the Mets were supposed to send out Jacob deGrom yesterday but it was wet, the game was delayed and why risk it, so the Mets went with Oswalt and a bullpen game and they won! Which means we get a deGrom day today!
Jacob deGrom is 8-8 over 28 starts and 188.0 innings with a 1.68 ERA (league leading), 2.08 FIP (league leading), 0.963 WHIP and a 220 ERA+ (league leading). In his last four starts he has allowed 5 runs, 3 earned over 29.0 innings from 21 hits and 6 walks while striking out 35, that’s a 0.93 ERA by the way. Against the Marlins this year he is 0-1 over 3 games allowing 7 runs over 19.0 innings, a 3.32 ERA, the highest against any team he has faced more than once. The Marlins have the following numbers against him:
- Dietrich 5-23, BB, 12 K
- Castro 8-21, BB
- Realmuto 3-19, 6 K
- Rojas 4-17, 3 BB
- Anderson 3-7, HR
- Brinson 2-9, 3 K
- Lee 0-3, 2K
The Mets bats will get to see Jeff Brigham in his second big league start. In his first start on the 2nd he allowed 3 runs off 4 hits and 4 walks in 3.0 innings against the Blue Jays in Miami. Across several levels of minor league ball this year he started 17 games totaling 95.1 innings with a 2.36 ERA. Last season he made 11 starts in high A and this year he made the jump to AA and then AAA.
Let’s Go Mets!
