The New York pitching staff has a 2.59 ERA, a 0.99 WHIP, and a .190 opponent batting average this season. The Mets offense has scored 89 runs with a .255 batting average and a .342 on base percentage. Francisco Lindor is batting .274 with four home runs and 12 RBI’s for the Mets this season. The projected starter for New York is Carlos Carrasco, who is 1-0 this season with a 1.47 ERA and a 0.60 WHIP over 18.1 innings pitched.
The St. Louis Cardinals are 9-7 this season and have lost three games in a row. Prior to losing the first two games of this series, St. Louis won two of three against Cincinnati. The St. Louis pitching staff has a 3.02 ERA, a 1.21 WHIP, and a .236 opponent batting average. The Cardinals offense has scored 62 runs with a .226 batting average and a .308 on base percentage this year. Nolan Arenado is batting .344 with five home runs and 14 RBI’s for the Cardinals this season. The projected starter for St. Louis is Steven Matz, who is 2-1 with a 5.27 ERA and a 1.61 WHIP over 13.2 innings pitched.
New York is 6-1 in their last 7 road games and 1-6 in their last 7 Wednesday games. The over is 4-1 in New York’s last 5 Wednesday games. St. Louis is 5-3 in their last 8 games against the NL East and 35-18 in their last 52 games. The over is 5-1-2 in St. Louis’ last 6 home games. The over is 20-9-3 in these two teams last 32 head to head meetings.
Carrasco has started the season red hot for the Mets and will be going up against Steven Matz, who has pitched much better after allowing 7 runs in his first start of the season. The Mets have won the first two games of this series and the Cardinals will be pushing to get on the board here. This has all of the makings of a pitcher’s duel, so I am taking the under.
