00:00Game number two of the midweek set tonight between the Mets and the Red Sox. New York taking game one.
00:08Four to one behind a strong pitching performance out of Luis Severino.
00:12Tonight, David Peterson on the bump. Minus 132 in favor of the Amazons over under at eight.
00:18Two different streaks at play. Boston on a three-game skid. The Mets have won five in a row.
00:23Yeah, I think the Mets are going to be able to win again. Have to if they want to keep pace with the Atlanta Braves.
00:28They're going to sail them out as we talked about in that previous segment here. Minus 350 plus favorite, which is crazy.
00:33They'll probably win that game, which means the Mets must win. And they do have the better pitcher on the mound today.
00:37And that's in David Peterson. Take a look at this. Fifty-nine innings pitched over the past 60 days is ERA 2.44.
00:43But as we know, that's not the end all be all. It is a slightly higher XFIP number at a 4.24.
00:48But still much, much better than Cutter Crawford, who on my card, Ben, I have 21 pitchers rated with a minimum of 20 innings pitched over the past 60 days.
00:56He's 20 out of 21. And you take a look at Crawford, a 5.40 number here for the ERA, but a 5.25 XFIP number.
01:04And if you're taking a look at Cutter Crawford struggling with right-handed batters, you dip right in.
01:09Mark Vientos, Pete Alonzo in the middle of that lineup should be able to do damage.
01:12Quite frankly, if you're looking at the first six batters in the lineup for the Mets, you're taking a look and saying, OK,
01:18how have they done over the past 30 days against right-handed pitching? Very well. Lindor, Nimmo, Vientos, Alonzo, Winker and also McNeil.
01:25High ISO power numbers and weighted on base percentages. The Mets will get another victory tonight over there in Queens.
