Struggling Offenses, Concerns for Manaea: Cardinals Poised to Capitalize Against Mets
Both teams have struggled offensively, particularly in key moments, resulting in both teams having a win-loss record below .500 entering this matchup. Manaea has been experiencing control issues in his recent starts, evidenced by his high walk rate compared to his strikeout rate. With a WHIP suggesting negative regression is imminent, Manaea's performance may be cause for concern. On the other hand, Gibson excelled in his last outing against the Tigers and has had additional rest time leading up to this game after his start was delayed. Playing at home, the Cardinals are poised to capitalize on the Mets' offensive struggles and secure a victory in this contest.
