Two of the best young pitchers on the planet are set square off against one another when the Miami Marlins visit the New York Mets Tuesday. Jose Fernandez, who takes the mound for the Marlins, has a career 2.50 ERA with a lifetime WAR of 8.9 while Noah Syndergaard is easily the hardest throwing starting pitcher in baseball.
- Noah Syndergaard is 9-2 with a 2.54 ERA in 14 career starts at Citi Field.
- The Marlins are batting a collective .299, the second-highest mark in MLB .
- The OVER is 13-4 in the Marlins' past 17 games when visiting the Mets.
Fernandez has historically struggled on the road during his young career, as the Cuban hurler is just 5-9 with a 3.78 ERA in 21 road games in his career. Fernandez has excelled in his limited appearances against the Mets though, as he is 1-0 with a 1.64 ERA in four starts versus New York.
Both Syndergaard’s fastball and sinker average out above 96 miles per hour while his newly added slider has averaged 93 mph. ‘Thor’ is coming off a spectacular performance in his first outing in which he went 6.0 innings without giving up a run while registering nine strikeouts.
