Zack Wheeler, coming off his best start in over two years, matches up with former-Nationals first-rounder Alex Meyer. The Nats traded Meyer to the Twins for Denard Span. He never found traction in the Twin system and now he's an Angel. Shutout-happy Mets were able to mask the effectiveness of Mike Trout, and hope to have a replica in this game. Keep in mind that we have yet to see a Neil Ramirez appearance. Maybe he's here as mascot, or simply an example of what a player who hasn't been torn to bits by Mike Barwis looks like.
