The Angles, 12-20 on the season, losers of 10 of their last 11 and coming off a sweep at the hands of the frggin' White Sox, play host to the 10-21 Mets -- losers of, well a lot, but it's too depressing for me to count -- for the weekend. 9:38 is the scheduled first pitch time for youse east-coasters which, just a few years ago, meant a probable final pitch time sliding towards One AM, but now it might even sneak in just prior to the witching hour.
Nolan McLean gets the start as he continues his quest to see how many games he can lose (or, at least, not win) with a sub-3.00 ERA, aka: the Jacob deGrom award. Reid Detmers, a LH 1st round draft pick (10th overall in 2020 out of U. of Louisville) takes the hill for LAA. Currently 1-2; 4.48; 1.09 WHIP
Prediction: (to quote the late, great Stevie Ray Vaughn) the forecast calls for pain
