Games of the Day

The Mets and Nationals play the rubber game of their series Wednesday afternoon with rookie Noah Syndergaard facing veteran Jordan Zimmermann. Syndergaard has yet to win on the road, 0-4 with a 4.73 ERA. While his strikeouts are good on the road, his walk and home run rates go way up. Zimmermann walked just seven batters in his last 55 innings.

Jose Fernandez takes on Robbie Ray as the Marlins play the Diamondbacks. Fernandez seems to have made a full recovery from Tommy John surgery, striking out 21 in his first 19 inning while issuing one walk. Ray has a chance to be the answer to Arizona trading Max Scherzer to Detroit. Scherzer found himself as the trade was made. Ray posted an 8.16 ERA in 28 2/3 innings for the Tigers last season with too many walks and too many home runs allowed. This season, those rates are way down and Ray owns a 2.29 ERA.

Enjoy!
