Friday started a stretch of 28 games against teams over .500 leading into the All-Star break. They’re probably going to face pitchers who are a lot better than Antonio Senzatela, who came into the game with a 5.33 ERA and a WHIP of 1.59. If their performance against Senzatela combined with the performance of the bullpen was any indication of what to expect from the next 28 games, then it’s time to start figuring out how to spend that money you set aside for playoff tickets.<\/p>\n
The Mets’ two best hitters all season: Jeff McNeil and Pete Alonso, took 0-fors against Senzatela which wasted four hits by Michael Conforto and Dom Smith combined from the 3 and 4 holes (including a solo HR by Conforto in the sixth inning. The good news was that Jacob deGrom battled through six innings, giving up two runs and striking out ten in six innings to give the Mets a chance to win. That chance was incinerated in the 8th.<\/p>\n
