4 years agoNew York Mets starting pitcher Rick Porcello turned in a solid outing on Friday against the Philadelphia Phillies. Porcello (1-4) went six innings, allowing only three hits, two earned runs, and two walks while striking out six in the Mets' 5-3 loss. Porcello did not factor into the decision. It was just the third quality start of the season for Porcello in eight starts. Porcello has greatly underperformed expectations that the Mets had for him when he was signed this past offseason. Overall in 2020, even with this solid outing on Friday, Porcello owns a horrid 5.54 ERA, a 1.46 WHIP, has allowed a .297 batting average against and has struck out just 33 in 39 innings pitched. At this point, Porcello is nothing more than a risky streaming option dart throw in all formats. Porcello will next face the Orioles on Wednesday, a team he has not yet faced this season.--Nick Ritrivi - RotoBaller
