In contrast to the position player meter, the pitching meter is quite ugly this week. The Mets continue to get uncharacteristically poor pitching and their 5.66 staff ERA is second-worst in baseball. Zack Wheeler was the only starting pitcher to have a quality start this week and while Edwin Diaz continues to dazzle and Robert Gsellman had a strong performance, the rest of the bullpen continues to falter.

We’ll start with Wheeler since he is the only good news to report on the starting pitching side.
