Well the Mets sometimes troll their own fans, and that’s what happened last night. The Mets had a great start from Harvey but the offense went off the the handle scoring 15 runs including two homers from Duda, a homer from Murphy and a homer from the newest Met, Kelly Johnson. They are going to need that offense today as they go up against Zack Greinke and his impressive scoreless streak.
The Mets will be sending out ace Jacob deGrom who is 10-6 over 18 games and 119.2 innings with a 2.18 ERA. In his first start from the All-Star break he allowed 2 ER over 6.0 innings while striking out 8. In his last 11 starts he has tossed 78.0 innings and struck out 83 batters with a 1.50 ERA. Jacob missed the Dodgers earlier this year but faced them twice last year over 12.0 innings with a 6.00 ERA. The Dodgers have the following numbers against Jacob:
- Gonzalez 3-6, 2 HR
- Rollins 1-6
- Crawford 0-3
- Ethier 1-3, 3B
- Puig 1-3, HR
The Mets draw one of the best pitchers in the game tonight, Zack Greinke. He is 9-2 over 19 starts and 131.1 innings with a league leading, insane, 1.30 ERA. He last runs he allowed were two runs against the Padres on June 13 over 8.0 innings. He picked up a win against the Mets at the start of July pitching 7.0 scoreless innings. The Mets have the following numbers against Zack:
- Granderson 9-48, 2 2B, 2 3B, HR
- Uribe 5-20, 2B, HR
- Murphy 3-11
- Duda 3-10, HR
- Flores 3-8
- Lagares 1-8, HR
Lets Go Mets!
