Hyun-jin Ryu has been a Mets slayer in his career and is expected to get the nod for the Toronto Blue Jays today when they conclude their 3-game set with the New York Mets in Buffalo. Toronto’s ace (3-1 with a 3.38 ERA) is 4-1 in his career against the Mets with a nasty ERA of just 1.20. Ryu faced the team from Queens twice last year as a Dodger, going 1-0 without allowing a run in 14-2/3 innings of work. Lefty David Peterson (4-1 with a 4.26 ERA) is expected to get the nod for New York and he was roughed up in his last outing. Peterson lasted just 2 innings against the Phillies, yielding 5 runs. Toronto’s young phenom, Bo Bichette, who is batting .354, is back in the lineup and the Jays are 4-1 in their last 5 against a left-handed starter.
