The New York Mets will go for their 4th straight win and a series win of the Miami Marlins today at Citi Field but hold on a minute. Miami will be sending Sandy Alcántara to the hill and if anyone can slow down the Mets he can. The Sandman is 6-2 with a 1.68 ERA, a WHIP of only 0.96, and over his last 3 it gets better. He is 1-0 with a 0.76 ERA and a 0.85 WHIP, and if that’s not dominance I don’t know what is. The Mets will counter with Chris Bassitt. C Bass has been inconsistent this year. He is 5-4 with a 4.01 ERA and a 1.18 WHIP. Over his last 3 turns, he is 1-2 and his ERA has jumped to 5.19 with a WHIP of 1.21. Alcántara will be working on five day’s rest and the Marlins are 4-0 in his last 4 starts in this situation.
