The New York Mets are rolling into Busch Stadium in St. Louis, Missouri, with a 3-2 record, ready to face off against the equally matched St. Louis Cardinals at 1:15 PM, all of which you can catch on ESPN Unlmtd/MLB.TV - because who doesn't love a little daytime baseball? Freddy Peralta (RHP, #51) will be taking the mound for the Mets, while the Cardinals will be countering with Matthew Liberatore (LHP, #32), and let's be real, the real question is whether Peralta can keep his ERA from ballooning like a bad hair day. The Mets are bringing a sleek 2.87 team ERA to the table, which is downright stylish compared to the Cardinals' 5.09 - yikes, that's a whole different kind of hair-raising experience.
The batting averages are also giving us something to chew on, with the Mets hitting .228 and the Cardinals swinging at a slightly more respectable .251 - not exactly MVP material, but we'll take it. And let's not forget the Mets are navigating this matchup without the likes of Mike Tauchman and Grae Kessinger, who are both out until May 15 - talk about a roster hole you could drive a bus through.
