Who is starting for the Mets?

RHP Jacob deGrom (3.26 ERA/1.11 WHIP), who is facing the Marlins for the second straight start. He dominated them last time around, allowing just one run on five hits while striking out eight and walking one over seven innings.

DeGrom has faced the Marlins more than any team in his career (this will be No. 19), and even his start back on April 3 was a gem. He didn't allow a run this time on just three hits, and he belted his first career homer in Miami as well.

Who is starting for the Marlins?

RHP Trevor Richards (4.46 ERA/1.37 WHIP), who took a loss in his last start against the Cubs. He allowed four runs on seven hits while striking out six and walking two over five innings.
