As you can probably guess, this meter is not good. There aren’t a lot of positive things to say about the Mets’ pitching staff right now. The Mets’ staff ERA is 4.74. The Mets’ starting rotation ERA is 5.34, which would be the worst mark in franchise history if it were over a full season. Max Scherzer and Justin Verlander both returned to the rotation this week, which should theoretically be a huge boost for the staff. But, neither of them pitched particularly well in their first starts, though Verlander left far less to be concerned about than Scherzer.
