The Mets look to take the series against the Pirates this afternoon and extend their winning streak to three games as they take on Pittsburgh for the final time in the regular season. Yesterday, the Pirates took the lead from the Mets late in the game, but some heroics by Iglesias and Lindor snatched that lead right back in the ninth inning. Let’s keep riding that momentum!
Christian Scott has pitched 33 1/3 innings for the Mets over six games with a 4.32 ERA, 3.91 FIP, 1.140 WHIP and a 90 ERA+. His last start was his first back with the Mets since rejoining the Major League roster. Scott cruised through the first four innings, and the wheels fell off in the fifth and sixth innings. His final line was 5 2/3 innings with four runs allowed on six hits. Today will be Scott’s first start against the Pirates.
Mitch Keller has made 17 starts this season, totaling 103 1/3 innings with a 3.48 ERA, 3.64 FIP, 1.248 WHIP and 117 ERA+. He has been at his personal best for most of the season except for the last couple of weeks. In his prior four starts, he has allowed 14 runs, 12 earned, over 23 2/3 innings, leading to a 4.56 ERA and 4.65 FIP. This stretch even includes a dazzling seven-inning, no-run performance, so it speaks to the struggles in the other three starts. The Mets have the following career numbers against him:
Let’s go Mets!
