6 years agoNew York Mets starting pitcher Steven Matz had arguably his worst start of the season on Thursday against the Colorado Rockies, but he should have an easier matchup on Tuesday when the Mets take on the Pittsburgh Pirates. In his last outing, Matz allowed five earned runs across only 5 2/3 innings pitched – he hadn’t allowed more than four runs (which he only did once) in any previous start this season. Pittsburgh’s offense isn’t a bad one, but it’s far from a juggernaut. With how surprisingly consistent Matz has been in 2018, you should expect him to have a solid outing in this one.--John Smith
