The Marlins are looking to bounce back after a rough loss last night, when they surrendered a late 6-0 lead to their division rival Mets.
Wei-Yin Chen takes the mound for the Fish as they look to move within a game and a half of the second wild card spot with a win.
Pitching Matchup
Team | Starter | ERA | FIP | 2016 ZIPS Projected ERA |
NYM | Steven Matz | 3.40 | 3.24 | 3.43 |
MIA | Wei-Yin Chen | 5.11 | 4.58 | 3.66 |
Chen (4-3) comes into this game allowing four or more runs in four of his last five starts. These Mets are hitting a combined .245/.260/.426 in 94 career at-bats against the Marlins lefty.
Matz (7-3) has been struggling lately after starting the season on a tear. He's given up nine runs over 9 2/3 innings in his last two starts.
Notes
- Jose Reyes was activated from AA Birmingham by the Mets last night and will get his first start of the season against his former team.
- Giancarlo Stanton is one of only two current Marlins that have homered against Matz in their careers.
Bold Prediction: Marlins bring the season series to an even 4-4 with a 7-5 win.
