Tuesday Night Mets Club taking this one in from section 513.
Looks like we're in for a bullpen game from the AL East leaders. Jalen Beeks starting v. Verlander

Rays likely to be missing their leading slugger Yandy Diaz with groin tightness.
Starter is a lefty but righty Yonny Chririnos also expected to throw. Predicting Vogey will start as DH

Rays are 1st in MLB in runs, Home runs, batting average, OBP, SLG, OPS
--every one of their starters has multiple home runs, with Yandy Diaz and Randy Arozarena leading with 10 each. As I mentioned it's likely Diaz sits out this game at least. He usually bats first so their lineup will be different.
Wander Franco (ss), Brandon Lowe (2B), Tayor Walls (3B) and Diaz make up the infield. They are all good.
Arozarena, Josh Lowe and Jose Siri are the outfielders.
Josh Lowe and Brandon Lowe are not related, I don't think. They also have 2 Kelleys in the bullpen (Trevor Kelley, Kevin Kelly).
Rays pitchers are second in ERA and fewest Home runs allowed in MLB

The Mets haven't hit a home run in 52 innings, the last one was by Alonso on May 10th.
They're due.
Later

Hey bucket, please ask Bernie if he admires the Rays for the smart way they run their business against industry giants or if it's just another billionaire exploiting the working class with low wages, k thx.

So not only 31 - 11 but with a Pythag figure that suggests they should be 32 - 10
I suspect that a team in that stratosphere rarely has a Pythag record above their actual one.
Their first four losses of the year were by 3, 3, 7, 5 runs
Since then their defeats have come by: 1, 3 (but in extra innings so tied after reg), 1, 2, 1, 1, and 1 run(s)

Courtney Love seems to have taken the first inning off for once, because there is no hole!

So that means the Rays start the 2nd inning with one out, right?

How would those occasional J. Franco shoe-tying stalls be handled in the era of pitch clocks and limited disengagements?

I looked it up on baseball-reference.com - in his career Keef went 0 for 9 with 2 BBs against John Franco.

Nimmo's line out to LF leading off bottom 1 is the only NYM contact to leave the infield so far.
