Opposing Analysis

The Mets' pitching staff has had a rough season, with an ERA of 4.54, placing them among the bottom teams in the league. Their probable starter, Yonny Chirinos, has struggled with a 5.76 ERA and has allowed 34 hits in 25 innings. The Mets' bullpen hasn't fared much better, with a high number of blown saves and struggles in closing out games. This bodes well for De La Cruz, who thrives against weaker pitching. Given Chirinos' tendency to give up hits, De La Cruz has a good chance to capitalize on this opportunity.
