The New York Mets boast the top pitching staff in Major League Baseball, leading the league with a 2.60 ERA and limiting opponents to a .228 batting average. Despite their success, the team has faced challenges with injuries to key pitchers Frankie Montas and Sean Manaea. Manager Carlos Mendoza has had to adjust the lineup, including using Huascar Brazobán as an opener ahead of left-hander Brandon Waddell, who is returning to MLB after stints abroad and in the minors. Brazobán's impressive stats feature a 1.56 ERA this season and he looks to maintain momentum against the Arizona Diamondbacks.
