In sharp contrast to the hitting meter, this is one of the worst pitching meters in recent memory. The pitching staff is decimated by Edwin Díaz’s suspension and injuries to Sean Reid-Foley and Drew Smith, who is likely to need Tommy John surgery that will end his season. With the exception of Luis Severino, the starting pitchers didn’t help matters by failing to go deep into games, so even in the games the Mets won this week, they needed to use a lot of bullpen. Adrian Houser has saved their bacon by continuing to be an excellent long man, but the relievers the Mets have been forced to turn to in high leverage situations have not consistently stepped up and performed.
