Two teams attempting to get back to .500 on the season and out of last place in their divisions meet at the Great American Ball Park tonight when the Mets (32-39) and Reds (33-37) meet for a three game series.
New York has won three of the last four games as they enter the series. The Mets are hitting .237 (24th) as a group this month, but have the eighth-most home runs (19). The pitching staff has carried New York to a 6-6 record this month. The Mets own a 3.81 ERA (4th), the best WHIP (1.09). and second-best OBA (.213).
The Reds have won five of the past six starts with Chase Burns on the mound, which is good news considering Cincinnati is 2-8 in the last 10 games entering this series. In June, the Reds have the second-worst batting average (.218) with the fourth-most strikeouts (112), and second-fewest runs scored (37). The Reds will need another dominant outing from Burns who’s recorded 10 straight games with two or fewer earned runs.
