JD Yonke takes a long look at the starting pitching matchup and reveals why the Padres have a much bigger edge over the Mets tonight than it appears at first glance.
The New York Mets ready themselves to face the San Diego Padres on Saturday night at Petco Park. New York grabbed an 8-3 victory in Game 1 but San Diego bounced back for a 7-0 victory in Game 2.this season with a 3.00 ERA across 14 starts. If you stopped your inspection there and didn’t do further digging, all would appear to be fine.
So … he must strike out a lot of batters, or at least limit his walks, right? Wrong. He ranks in the 21st percentile in both K-rate and walk rate , so quite frankly there isn’t much to like about his performance and regression should be around the corner. team that has suffered just seven defeats since July 19. They’ve been crushing left-handed pitching with a 120 wRC+ and .337 wOBA, both numbers that rank Top 5 in the MLB in that span. , whose 3.18 ERA is more well-supported by his 3.
There’s a reason San Diego has been winning so many games lately, and I’m betting that run continues on Saturday in convincing fashion. I’m betting on the regression monster coming for Peterson in a difficult matchup. He’s been susceptible to right-handed bats, surrendering a 4.82 xFIP and a 1.44 WHIP on the year. had three hits a night ago and has a 124 wRC+ against LHP, so I’m scoffing at the plus money being offered for him to record 2+ total bases.
