Well yesterday went pretty much like every day in the last week. Matz struggled at the start of the game, then there was a rain delay, then the bullpen took over and did great for a while, the Mets even got the lead! Then the Mets blew it late, and then they lost and it capped a horrible week. So now the Mets will start a new week tonight with Noah Syndergaard back on the mound and maybe the next 7 days will be different.
Noah Syndergaard is 5-4 over 15 starts and 95.0 innings with a 4.55 ERA, 3.61 FIP, 1.211 WHIP and a 89 ERA+. He is coming off a hamstring injury where the Mets did the un-Mets thing and put him on the IL pretty much right away. Shockingly, he has not faced the Braves at all this season. Last year he faced them 3 times and totaled 18.0 innings allowing 6 runs from 20 hits and 3 walks while striking out 14. The Braves have the following numbers against him:
- Nick Markakis 7-17, 2B, 2 BB, 3 K
- Freddie Freeman 8-18, 3 2B, 3B, HR, 4 K
- Ender Inciarte 4-14, BB, 2 K
- Dansby Swanson 5-11, 3 K
- Ozzie Albies 2-9, HR, K
- Adam Duvall 0-9, 6 K
- Ronald Acunda Jr 2-7, 2B, 3 K
- Josh Dondaldson 1-6, 2B
Max Fried gets the start for the Braves tonight. He is 9-3 over 18 games and 16 starts with 88.2 innings posting a 3.96 ERA, 3.92 FIP, 1.331 WHIP and a 116 ERA+. In his last two starts he has allowed 4 runs over 12.0 innings from 10 hits, 6 walks and 14 K’s. One of those starts was against the Mets where he allowed 2 runs over 6.0 innings from 8 hits. The Mets have the following numbers against Max:
- Michael Conforto 0-6, 2 BB, 4 K
- Amed Rosario 2-7, 2B, 4 K
- Juan Lagares 2-6, K
- Todd Frazier 1-5, K
- Jeff McNeil 3-5, 2 2B K
- Wilson Ramos 2-4, 2B, K
- Pete Alonso 0-2, BB, 2 K
Let’s Go Mets!
