The New York Mets are on the brink of being eliminated from the playoffs after yesterday’s 7-1 beating by the San Diego Padres but they have something up their sleeve and that is Jacob deGrom. Arguably the best pitcher in the business, deGrom is 5-4 with a 3.08 ERA and a nasty WHIP of only 0.75. The Friars will counter with southpaw Blake Snell. He is 8-10 with a 3.38 ERA and a 1.20 WHIP. Snell is not the threat he was when he was chucking for the Rays. New York is 11-0 in deGrom’s last 11 starts against the NL West and 6-0 in his last 6 home starts against a team with a winning record.
