Orioles at Mets — Not Much Separates These Two
Baltimore and New York have spent the past few weeks moving almost in lockstep. Both are 5–5 over their last 10 and 10–10 over their last 20, while their bullpen ERAs are separated by just four hundredths of a run. The less reassuring numbers belong to the starters. Chris Bassitt has a 4.88 ERA and 1.59 WHIP; Robert Stock is at 5.93 and 1.75, although his 3.93 FIP hints at better work than the ERA suggests. Baltimore has won the first two games between the clubs this season. With neither lineup carrying a major statistical edge, the game may simply come down to which starter can avoid an early crooked inning.
