Steven Matz is back in the rotation due to Zack Wheeler's injury, but this is not a good place for him. He faces a Twins lineup that ranks No. 1 in MLB in hitting against left-handed pitching (.296), and No. 2 in OPS (.868). And he's on the road -- Matz this season is 2-6 with a 7.07 ERA away from Citi Field. I expect this game to be a major mismatch tonight.
The Twins starter Michael Pineda has found his form, allowing two runs over his last 12 innings of play and we are all over the Twinkies here at home on Tuesday night.
