The Mets are home at Citi Field, trying to make their 6-4 record look less like a fluke against the stumbling Diamondbacks, who are limping in at 5-5. Arizona's batting average of .211 is about as exciting as a box of stale cracker jacks, while New York's staff ERA of 2.53 is basically a neon sign saying, "keep your souvenir hopes in the gift shop."
Probables Ryne Nelson (0-1, 5.79 ERA, 1.18 WHIP) and David Peterson (0-1, 4.66 ERA, 1.97 WHIP) are scheduled to duke it out; Nelson will try to recall where the strike zone went, while Peterson's 1.97 WHIP is practically a "Welcome, errors, come on in" mat. The Diamondbacks are dealing with Carlos Santana (day-to-day) and Pavin Smith (10-day IL) on the injury front; meanwhile, the Mets counter with Juan Soto still snoozing on the 10-day IL. Their lineup's .250 average should still keep things interesting. Make your pick or dissect both rotations live on StreakChat.
