The New York Mets look to comeback from Saturday’s disappointing loss this afternoon in Queens. The Mets had a huge second inning in Saturday’s game to go up 5-1 but the Houston Astros were able to take advantage of Tylor Megill and then the Mets’ overtaxed bullpen to comeback and win the game 9-6.
A win today gives the Mets a winning record again, another winning series against a good team, and closes out a great month for the Mets.
Luis Severino has pitched 90 1/3 innings over 15 starts for the Mets with a 3.29 ERA, 3.92 FIP, 1.151 WHIP, and a 117 ERA+. Severino is coming off of a strong start against the Chicago Cubs where held Chicago scoreless over six innings and struck out a season-high 10 batters. In four of his last six starts, he has allowed one run or less.
The Astros have the following career numbers against Severino:

It’s a bullpen day for the Astros, starting with Shawn Dubin. Dubin has pitched 22 1/3 innings over 14 games this season with a 5.64 ERA, 2.52 FIP, 1.657 WHIP, and a 71 ERA+. He has the rare combination of a 10+ H/9 and a 10+ K/9 inning. Dubin can give the Astros some length as he has pitched three innings once this season and 2 1/3 innings four times. The most pitches has has thrown in an outing is 42, so that’s probably about his maximum.
Interesting to note, he has not allowed a home run this season. A few Mets have seen him in a major league game:
The Mets made a plectra of roster moves prior to Sunday’s game:
