This is a 10* on the METS

The Mets just lost two low scoring games in Boston, 1-0 and 2-1, to fall to one game below .500. But they should rebound here with Marcus Stroman pitching. They’ve won three of the four times Stroman has pitched so far and considering the right hander has a 2.25 ERA and 0.96 WHIP, that’s no accident. While off his worst outing of 2021, Stroman turned in three consecutive quality starts to open the season. The Mets are 10-4 the last three seasons after being shut out, including 2-0 this year. The Phillies, unlike the Mets, played yesterday and they lost 4-3 to the Cardinals. That game went to the 10th inning, so it was extra disappointing, especially since it ended on a wild pitch. Speaking of disappointing, Philadelphia starter Chase Anderson remains winless and has a 7.71 ERA his past three turns. He got hammered for six runs on Sunday. Play on NY METS
