The Mets are in a bad way right now, and they need this win tonight as they play game two with the BrewCrew. Last night the offense wasn’t around again, and this was coupled with poor defensive plays. But despite how bad this slide is right now, this team has shown before that they can flip the script, so it’s time to do that.
Jacob deGrom will look to rebound from his last start. In Chicago he had a rough first inning but was pretty much fine from that point on. On the season he is 3-4 over 7 games with a 3.46 ERA over 41.2 innings with 37 strikeouts.
At home this year he is 3-1 with a 1.40 ERA over 25.2 innings and 24 K’s. Last year he was 1-1 in two starts over 12.0 innings against the Brewers with a 2.25 ERA. The Brewers have the following numbers against Jacob:
- Braun 0-5
- Davis 2-5
- Gomez 2-6
- Gennett 2-3, 2B
- Peralta 0-3
- Ramirez 1-3, 2B
The Mets bats will draw Matt Garza today who is in his second season with the Brewers. So far in 2015 he is 2-4 over 7 games with a 4.04 ERA in 42.1 innings of work.
Matt is coming off of his best start of the season where he held the Cubs to 1 earned run over 7.0 innings while striking out 9. Last year he made one start against the Mets and it was very good as he held the Mets to a run over 8.0 innings of work. The Mets have the following numbers against Garza:
- Granderson 7-27, 4 2B, HR
- Duda 2-7, 2B, HR
- Murphy 0-5
- Mayberry 0-4
- Tejada 1-4
