The Mets will be looking for the sweep of the Tigers this afternoon. The Mets have won the first two games with a lot of runs. Today they will face possibly the best pitcher in the American League in Justin Verlander. They are looking to keep their offense going and their streak of beating good pitchers. This will be the first major test for the Mets offense this series.
Mike Pelfrey will start for the Mets looking to continue pitcher better. Pelfrey gave up four runs in his last start which resulted in a lost for him. The Mets need Pelfrey to hold off the Tigers today and give them some innings. Pelfrey is starting to pitch better since Ronny Paulino began catching him. But the Mets have to hope this will be Pelfrey’s best start otherwise they will be in for a long game.
Justin Verlander will start for the Tigers as he looks for his seventh consecutive win. Verlander is locked in at the mound and continues to mow down batters. He is giving the bullpen days off with his complete games and eight inning performances. The Mets will have a tough job ahead of them, but they can do it.
