This is a 10* SIDE OF THE WEEK on the New York Mets.
Setting the scene: The schedule may not be co-operating for the playoff hopeful Mets, but we still think this is a matchup which favors the hungry visitors. New York comes in off an important 5-1 win over the Nats last night and we're expecting it to carry that momentum over into this afternoon game vs. the anemic Reds.
Bartolo Colon: He's 12-7 with a 3.35 ERA. Note that he's 4-1 with a 4.01 ERA in six career starts vs. Cincinnati. Colon is just 1-2 in all day games, but does own a 3.97 ERA. He's been solid on the road though, going 7-4 with a 3.26 ERA.
Robert Stephenson: He's been recalled to make this start. So far he's started two games for the Reds this year, somehow managing to pick up a win in both, giving up four total runs over 12 frames. Remarkable though, as Stephenson has been very unremarkable at Triple-A Louisville this year, posting a 4.41 ERA and 1.36 WHIP after 24 starts.
The bottom line: History, both recent and long-term, suggests that New York is in for a big day, as it's won 16 of the past 18 in this series, including 11 straight. The Mets own the highest winning percentage at Great American Ball Park of any team in the NL at 27-15, which includes the Reds. Stephenson will remain in the rotation until the end of the year, so the pressure is off to perform tonight, as win or lose, his job is not in any jeopardy (for this season at least). New York is back on track, sitting just a game back of St. Louis for the second wild card and we're expecting it to keep the pressure on this afternoon. Play on the METS.
