DeGrom is coming off a short outing where he only pitched 5.0 innings but also allowed only 1 runs from 6 hits and 3 walks (and shockingly the bullpen and bats behind him supported him through the end of the game).

- Brandon Belt 3-16, HR, 5 BB, 5 K

The Mets bats will get a look at Tyler Beede who is 3-3 over 11 games and 9 starts over 51.1 innings with a 5.44 ERA, 5.30 FIP, 1.57WHIP and 78 ERA+. He’s coming off an average start where he allowed 3 runs from 7 hits and no walks over 6.2 innings and over his last 5 starts he has posted a much more respectable 3.41 ERA. He faced the Mets back in June allowing 6 runs, 5 earned over 5.0 innings from 5 hits and 4 walks. The Mets have the following numbers against him:
