Despite recent comments suggesting that he will continue to play his starters on a regular basis, Brian Snitker decided to give Dansby Swanson a rest and go with Johan Camargo tonight at shortstop. Beyond the day off for Swanson, this could be an astute match-up play as well. Camargo has seven hits in 21 career at-bats against deGrom, good for a .915 OPS. Along with Camargo, Josh Donaldson and Freddie Freeman have multiple home runs against deGrom in their careers. A well-timed big fly could be the difference maker tonight like it was last year when Freeman delivered the game-winning home run.
