There is no doubt that Jose Fernandez is one of the best young pitchers in baseball today and if you need any proof, just ask the New York Mets. The Miami Marlins’ ace has dominated the Mets throughout his career with the righty posting 1.32 ERA and a 0.88 WHIP in six career appearances against New York.
Opposing Fernandez will be Jacob deGrom. The Mets’ pitcher has been lights out as of late, with the righty giving up just three runs in his past four starts while registering 28 strikeouts.
If the Mets struggle to solve Fernandez, it could continue their impressive streak of UNDERs. The UNDER has hit in each of the Mets past 10 games with the club averaging just 2.6 runs per game in that span.
