The Mets are back for the second half of the season! What a first half it was for the Mets, who stumbled out of the gate and endured a rough month of May before lighting the baseball world on fire over the last month-and-a-half. They now find themselves in a playoff spot with under two weeks to go before the trade deadline.
Hope you are ready for the second half of 2024! Let’s go!

Sean Manaea will look to build off his terrific first half of the season. Over 96 1/3 innings this season, he has a 3.46 ERA, 3.75 FIP, 1.215 WHIP and a 112 ERA+. Across his last four starts, he has allowed four earned runs over 25 innings (1.44 ERA, 3.80 FIP) with opponents slashing .165/.268/.247 against him. His last start was tainted by two home runs, the first two he had allowed since June 14. In Manaea’s only start against the Marlins this season, he gave up two runs on five hits over five innings.
The Marlins have the following career numbers against him:
Edward Cabrera has pitched 28 1/3 innings over seven games this season with a 8.26 ERA, 5.67 FIP, 1.588 WHIP and a 53 ERA+. He’s made two starts since returning from the injured list with a right shoulder impingement. In the first of those two outings, which came against the Chicago White Sox on July 7, he allowed two runs over 3 2/3 innings. His last time out July 13 against the Cincinnati Reds, he gave up seven runs on six hits, including four homers, across 3 1/3 innings.
The Mets have the following numbers against Edward:
Last Sunday, Eric Orze was optioned to Triple-A Syracuse and Joey Lucchesi was sent outright to Triple-A Syracuse after going unclaimed on waivers. David Peterson returned from the Paternity list on Monday. On Wednesday, left-handed reliever Alex Young was claimed off waivers from the San Francisco Giants and was subsequently optioned to Triple-A Syracuse. In a corresponding move, Tyler Jay was designated for assignment.
Manager Carlos Mendoza told reporters that Kodai Senga will throw between 80 and 85 pitches in his rehab start for Syracuse on Saturday. If all goes well, the team plans on reactivating him in time to start against the Atlanta Braves next weekend at Citi Field. It will mark Senga’s fourth appearance of his rehab assignment as he works his way back from a shoulder injury he suffered during spring training.
Let’s go Mets!
