Miami vs New York Mets Game Analysis
Miami
Edward Cabrera (1 win, 3 losses, 8.26 ERA) is aiming for his second win of the season. Cabrera suffered a defeat on the 14th, giving up 7 runs in 3.1 innings during the away game against Cincinnati. He has consistently been unable to last 4 innings as a starter. His struggles in home games are also persistent, which dampens expectations. Key to the game will be how Miami's offense, which showed some revival in the final series of the first half, overcomes its poor performance at home compared to away games. One crucial point is their excessive reliance on home runs. However, the bullpen remains the team's most reliable aspect.
New York Mets
Shaun Manaea (6 wins, 3 losses, 3.46 ERA) is challenging for his seventh win of the season. Manaea secured a victory on the 13th with a 7-inning, 3-run performance in a home game against Colorado. Throughout July, he has consistently delivered quality starts (QS) or better. On May 20th in an away game against Miami, he secured a win with a 5-inning, 2-run performance, and recent performances suggest he can do even more. The Mets' offense has scored five or more runs in all six of their home games towards the end of the first half, but overcoming their poor performance away from home remains crucial. At least the top of the lineup is quite powerful. The bullpen is improving, and they may only need one more reliable pitcher to support Diaz.
Comment
This year's Cabrera is not a trustworthy type as a starting pitcher. It's likely difficult for him to contain the Mets’ offense. While Miami occasionally performs well against left-handed pitchers, their lack of explosive power and disappointing home-game batting are more realistic concerns. The New York Mets seem closer to victory with their superior strength.
