Luis Severino (7-4, 3.93 ERA) vs. Kyle Freeland (3-4, 5.64 ERA)
This season, Luis Severino has put up good numbers while starting for the Mets. He has been able to restrain hitters to a minimum while striking out 96 batters with a career ERA of 3.93 and WHIP of 1.24 in 123.2 innings pitched. This is what makes him a valuable asset because he can be counted on for depth in games played.With his fastball and slider being amongst his strengths, Severino might prove useful in managing Rockies’ lineup.
Contrastingly, Kyle Freeland will have a difficult time this season as indicated by an ERA of 5.64 and WHIP of 1.51 through 59 innings. His fillings are shown through the eighty eight hits; however, they were not that bad after all with just twenty one walks given up by him for the same period . He must adopt a more careful approach towards minimizing walks or home runs since both have been responsible for most runs scored upon his pitching this year so far.
The duel between Severino and Freeland is likely to be decisive. Severino’s consistency and ability to strike out batters will be crucial against a Rockies team that has struggled at the plate. Freeland’s task will be to manage the powerful Mets lineup and keep the game within reach for his team.
