In 46.2 road innings, Hendricks has a 5.40 ERA and .251 allowed batting average. Montas hasn’t been good and is still trying to figure things out after pitching just 19.2 innings. Still, the Mets are comfortably the better team, and they’re showing flashes of getting their act together with two wins. I’ll throw this pitching matchup out of the window and just side with the better team in the Mets.
