Carson Benge also has 107 hits with 15 doubles, 2 triples, 11 home runs and 41 RBIs and Mark Vientos has added 50 hits with 9 doubles, 11 home runs and 35 RBIs.
The Cleveland Guardians come into this game looking to bounce back from their loss to the Mets last time out to sit at 57-58 this season. After this series, the Guardians will head on the road for a set against the Chicago White Sox.
Chase DeLauter has 99 hits with 21 doubles, 12 home runs and 55 RBIs while Steven Kwan has 91 hits with 14 doubles, a home run and 21 RBIs and Jose Ramirez has 72 hits with 18 doubles, 10 home runs and 35 RBIs this season. Brayan Rocchio has also added 99 hits with 17 doubles, 9 home runs and 50 RBIs this season while Angel Martinez has 56 hits with 12 doubles, 11 homers and 33 RBIs and Rhys Hoskins has added 43 hits with 13 doubles, 12 home runs and 36 RBIs. Daniel Schneemann has 52 hits with 11 doubles, 6 home runs and 28 RBIs this season.
I’m backing the Mets here. The Mets got to Foster Griffin for five runs in his lone meeting with them earlier this season, but the problem is that Griffin at the time had a hot Nationals offense backing him up, something he does not have right now. I think that the Mets can get it done in this game and pull off a surprising sweep so give me New York.
