Three Things To Watch For<\/p>\n

Huascar Brazob\u00e1n.\u00a0Brazob\u00e1n pitched a scoreless first inning against the Colorado Rockies a few days ago opening up a game where David Peterson got the bulk of the work. Hitters are just not making solid contact right now against Brazob\u00e1n who is in the 97th percentile for average exit velocity (84.8 mph). Hitters are barreling the ball only 2.0% of the time (95th percentile), getting a hard-hit 26.5% (96th percentile), and grounding out 55.1% (90th percentile).
\nOffense. The 2026 Mets have scored 138 runs this season, good for 29th in the major leagues. Their pitching is tied for the ninth-fewest runs allowed, at 165. The Mets don\u2019t need a crazy bump in offense to turn things around, but they need something, anything, to give them a spark.
\nLuis Torrens.\u00a0Torrens may be the secret to David Peterson. In 26 2\/3 innings throwing to Alvarez this season, Peterson has a 7.42 ERA. In 7 2\/3 innings throwing to Torrens, Peterson has a 2.35 ERA. The numbers weren\u2019t as stark last year, but the trend was there as well. Peterson had a 4.95 ERA with Alvarez catching compared to a 3.52 ERA with Torrens. Torrens has continued to excel at catching base runners, throwing out three already, putting him in the 98th percentile.<\/p>\n
