The Mets looked pretty good last Wednesday and Thursday against the Nationals. Then they played the Phillies this weekend and just evaporated. Now 5 games below .500 they enter an interesting stretch of schedule. In the next 13 games, they play 7 games against the Marlins and 6 games against the Yankees. If there was ever a time to make noise, now is the time.
Robert Gsellman will make his second start of the season tonight, aiming to be somewhere between 45 and 55 pitches. On the season he has pitched 3.0 innings over three games and has allowed 3 runs from 5 hits and a homer while walking none and striking out 3. His last start, which last two innings, was the start of the Mets last two-game winning streak. In 7 games against the Marlins last year he pitched 9.0 innings allowing 3 runs from 11 hits and 2 homers. The Marlins have the following numbers against him:
