Today’s matchup is between the New York Mets (25-20) and the Arizona Diamondbacks (19-35). The Mets have won 4 of their last 5 games & the Diamondbacks have won 1 of their last 5 games.
The Mets are starting David Peterson (LHP), on the mound who is 1-4 on the season pitching a 4.91 ERA, 4.61 FIP, .337 wOBA, K% of 26.6%, BB% of 9.2%, 89.9 MPH average exit velocity, and a 1.27 WHIP in 44.0 innings pitched.
The Diamondbacks are starting Caleb Smith (LHP), who is 2-1 on the season with a 3.27 ERA, 3.60 FIP, .308 wOBA, K% of 27.2%, BB% of 10.9%, 87.6 MPH average exit velocity, and a 1.36 WHIP in 33.0 innings pitched.
The Mets are 1st in the Majors in Relieving Pitching (WAR) while the Diamondbacks are 26th.
On the hitting side, the Mets have a .296 wOBA and a .311 OBP. The Diamondbacks have a .306 wOBA and a .310 OBP. The Mets have 39 HRs this season while the Diamondbacks have 52 HRs.
Although the Dbacks have the better starting pitcher I feel it's going to be their relieving that disappoints them in this game so I'm going with the Mets.
