There are five afternoon games on Thursday, the best the contest between the Mets and the Cardinals. Noah Syndergaard takes on Carlos Martinez. Syndergaard has been tougher in day games this season with 28 K in 15 1/3 innings, compared to 11 K in 12 innings at night. Martinez brings a 1.42 ERA into the game, thanks in part to just one home run allowed in 31 2/3 innings. He allowed 27 home runs last year.
Chris Sale takes on Marco Estrada as Boston and Toronto play the rubber game of their series. Sale, a lefty is pitching great against right-handed batters. So far he holds them to a .198 BA and a .240 OBP. Estrada keeps getting dinged, with six home runs allowed in his first 22 innings. That’s a big reason for his 5.32 ERA.
