The story of the first ten games of the season was the Mets’ starting rotation persevering, despite injuries to Jacob deGrom and Taijuan Walker. That continues to be the case. Although a couple of Mets starters had their first hiccups of the season this week, the starting pitching as a collective remains very strong. The Mets hold a 2.78 staff ERA for the season, which is the fourth-best mark in baseball. If you look at just the starting pitchers, the Mets have a 2.46 ERA, which is the third-best mark in baseball. Both of the Mets’ losses this week came because of poor starting pitching performances, but Saturday’s loss was a spot start by Trevor Williams, who hopefully will not be relied upon to start too many games this season.
