Luis Severino (11-7, 3.91 ERA) vs. Freddy Peralta (11-9, 3.68 ERA)
Luis Severino goes out to pitch for the Mets today showing average stats for the season. An eleven win and seven loss record with a 3.91 earned runs average tell of a pitcher who seems vicious but at times may come up short. Severino struck out 161 batters and posted a 1.24 WHIP over 182 innings pitched, and therefore his command will be important against a formidable group of Milwaukee hitters. The right-hander’s task will be to handle the big bats of Milwaukee while keeping his cool and using his fastball and slider to good effect.
In comparison, Freddy Peralta, the opening hurler for the Brewers, has had a marginally improved performance with a 3.68 ERA and a record of 11-9. Performance-wise, he certainly was consistent as he whiffed 200 hitters in 173.2 innings of work and held a 1.21 WHIP. Peralta achieved this by striking hitters out relatively successfully. This acquired skill formed the need of a lovely mix of fastballs and curveballs for the lasting Peralta, which will be used to negotiate the Mets lineup which is more than capable of exploiting any pitching weaknesses.
