Blue Jays (Matz) vs. Mets (Megill)

Here is a situation where both teams have little experience with the opposing pitcher but for differing reasons. The Mets have never batted against Matz, but of course are very familiar with him. The Jays have never faced, and possibly never even heard of Megill. In fact, Megill is exactly the kind of pitcher the Jays can struggle against. A fresh face sporting a 2.63 ERA, he shut out the Pirates over 6 innings and two-hit the Brewers over 5.

Matz will be especially motivated against the Mets and is off his best start in a while, but his “June swoon” was not impressive.

There is also the Mets’ stellar home record, and the Blue Jays infamous bullpen to consider here.

Take the Mets to win..
