Baz Sets the Tone for Baltimore at Citi Field
Baltimore and New York meet without one overwhelming statistical storyline. The Mets have played better lately at 6–4 over their last 10, while the Orioles still hold the better overall record. Shane Baz has a 3.54 FIP and has limited home runs to 0.8 per nine, a useful combination against a Mets lineup with 189 homers. Sean Manaea sits at 4.50 FIP and 1.4 HR/9, though New York’s bullpen holds a slight edge in both ERA and WHIP. The margins are narrow enough that one clean inning could swing the entire night.
