Sean Manaea (6-4, 3.73 ERA) vs. Gerrit Cole (3-1, 4.6 ERA)
Sean Manaea has been an important addition to the Mets rotation this season, posting a 6-4 record and 3.73 ERA over 101.1 innings pitched. Over his tenure he allowed 85 hits, walked 41 batters, struck out 97 with his 1.24 WHIP rating showing outstanding control despite giving up 10 homers; Manaea excels at inducing ground balls while managing innings effectively; however he could become susceptible against power hitting teams like New York Yankees.
Gerrit Cole has shown signs of his dominant self despite pitching only 29 innings this season, posting a 3-1 record and posting an impressive 4.6 ERA over 29.1. However, these stats could be slightly inflated; his average innings pitched has actually increased due to 10 walks issued while striking out 34 batters with an outstanding strikeout ratio (1.44). His strength lies mainly with striking out batters while struggling with command at times as six homers have been given up against Mets lineup capable of hitting long ball homers!
