The Mets and the Reds are a couple of fairly evenly matched teams. However, the Mets are a team that has had quite a few more struggles than what you would find with the Reds team. The Reds are a team that has really battled back from the struggles they have faced quite a bit on the year so far and this will make a difference for the team.

The Mets on the year have been able to hit only at a clip of .227 on the season so far and that is ranked last in the majors. The Mets have been able to score a total of 424 runs which is ranked 29th in the league. The Mets have a team ERA that sits at 4.39 and is ranked 20th in the majors.

With the Reds the team has been able to hit at a clip of .257 which is 6th in the majors and the run scoring has the Reds tied at 10th with 516 runs being scored. The pitching for the Reds has been improving with an ERA of 4.70.
Sal Romano is the pitcher who is going to the mound for the Reds in this game. So far this year Romano has been able to throw a total of 116.1 innings and struck out 82 batters. He has managed to get a record of 6-9 and has posted a 5.12 ERA.

Jason Vargas is the pitcher the Mets will be countering with. This year Vargas has thrown a total of 47 innings and struck out 42 batters. Vargas has been able to post a 2-7 record and has been able to post an ERA of 8.23.

The Reds offense is really going to light up Vargas in this game here. Vargas has been a decent pitcher on the season at times, but he will have some major issues facing a great offense in the Reds. Look for the Romano to do really well on the pitching as well and be able to bring down the Mets lackluster offense. Final Score Prediction, Cincinnati Reds win 8-3.
