The New York Mets have been woefully inconsistent over the past month, largely alternating between promising wins and losing streaks. In fact, the last time the Mets won consecutive games came on April 13 – since then, New York is 10-18. The Mets will look for their first back-to-back wins in over a month when they continue their three-game series with the Arizona Diamondbacks in the Big Apple Saturday.
- The Mets are 4-10 SU in their last 14 games at home with Steven Matz as the starting pitcher.
- The total has gone UNDER in 5 of the Diamondbacks' last 6 games against the Mets.
- David Peralta is slashing .300/.377/.583 on the road this season.
Unfortunately for the Mets, the Diamondbacks will be starting Patrick Corbin in this one. Corbin has been the best pitcher on the Arizona staff with the lefty posting a 2.53 ERA, a 0.86 WHIP and 11.8 K/9IP on the season. That being said, Corbin is coming off his worst outing of the season – allowing six hits and four runs in 6.0 innings of work against the Milwaukee Brewers.
The Mets will start Steven Matz, who has rounded into form after a mediocre first month of the season. The southpaw has surrendered just two earned runs – both off of home runs – in his last two starts, a span that covers 11.0 innings. Matz has had some real difficulties keeping the ball in the yard at Citi Field, surrendering six home runs in four starts at home.
