The Mets start a series with the Marlins today in Miami. If this feels redundant, it is! The Mets just wrapped up a three game series with the Marlins at home where Miami took the first two games and the Mets were able to salvage the third.
Robert Gsellman wasn’t the best in his first start of the season as he allowed three earned runs over 5.0 innings and six hits against the Marlins but he only walked two batters and he struck out seven (and gave up a massive homer to Ozuna). Coupled with his Opening Day outing, he has now allowed three earned over 6.0 innings this year, or exactly average.
