The Mets have won four games in a row! After taking the series in Miami, the Mets swept a two game set in Minnesota and now find themselves only 5 games out of the wild card. This is shocking because they have the third worst winning percentage in the National League (really they are tied for second as they are only .001 better than the Reds but that’s neither here nor there).
Odd math aside (quick armchair analysis blames a plethora of bad teams in the American League), the Mets can continue to muddle up their July plans today with a win, or at the very least get another showcasing of Noah Syndergaard out there. Syndergaard is 7-4 over 18 starts and 112.2 innings with a 4.55 ERA, 3.81 FIP, 1.243 WHIP and 89 ERA+. He’s coming off a strong start in Miami where he allowed 2 runs over 7.0 innings. He pitched against the Giants back in June and allowed 3 runs over 6.2 innings. The Giants have the following numbers against him:
- Brandon Belt 1-17, 4 BB, 5 K
- Joe Panik 5-20, 4 K
- Brandon Crawford 2-14, 3 BB, 4 K
- Evan Longoria 3-12, BB, 5 K
- Buster Posey 3-12, K
- Kevin Pillar 1-7, K
- Pablo Sandoval 1-4
The Mets bats will get a look at Madison Bumgarner who is 5-7 over 20 games and 116.2 innings with a 3.86 ERA, 3.81 FIP, 1.217 WHIP and 109 ERA+. In his last 4 starts he has tossed 20.0 innings allowing only 5 runs, 4 earned. He was average in his last start against the Mets on June 4th, allowing 3 runs over 6.0 innings from 6 hits and 2 walks. The Mets have the following numbers against him:
- Wilson Ramos 7-21, 2 2B, 2 HR, BB, 3 K
- Todd Frazier 7-17, 2B, 2 HR, BB, 3 K
- Michael Conforto 0-9, 6 K
- Juan Lagares 1-9, K
- Amed Rosario 0-7, K
- J.D. Davis 0-5, BB
- Jeff McNeil 2-6, 2 K
- Pete Alonso 2-2, HR
- Robinson Cano 1-3, 2B, K
Let’s Go Mets!
