Been watching this Jacob Turner all season as well as Jose Fernandez.
The guy is a totally different animal since last year when the Tigers gave up on him. OK, he was getting hit by the AL big boys, but was 21 last year, just starting out. But since coming to the NL East, brilliant.
Kid (22 years od) has been rock solid steady all season.
Last 10 starts have been brilliant. Allowing 3 earned runs or less in nine of those past ten, and eight of the last ten he's allowed two earned runs or less.
He did walk four Brewers and Carlos Gomez rocked him for a tater in a 2-0 loss, and the Cards got to him for four earned on seven hits in that loss, but know this, the Met line up isn't the Card line up tonight.
Like I said, the other 8 starts, outstanding 2 earned runs or less
Overall he's 3-3 2.49 ERA with an attention grabbing 1.17 WH/IP ratio and will strike out a little over 6 or per 9 innings. Nice numbers.
First time he faced the Mets this season he shut them out on 5/31 on 5 hits, one walk across seven effortless innings as the Marlins swept the Mets.
The Mets two best hitters, David Wright is an ugly 0 for 8 against Turner, and Daniel Murphy is 2 for 8 on two scratch singles.
He also beat the Mets last season on 10/2 going 7 innings giving up 3 hits, 1 earned run, walking two.
Metropolitan starter Jeremy Hefner's last two outing have been garbage. Total trash.
Braves hammered him 8-2, Heffner never got out of the fifth inning, gave up three gopher balls, five earned, six hits.
Start before that was uglier.
Phillies got to Hefner for 10 hits in two innings, never saw the end of the third inning, yeilding 8 earned.
I was never big on Hefner even when he was on that five game winning streak. Four of those five wins were by one run and could have gone either way.
Both line ups will not scare many pitchers, but I like the Marlins in this spot.
Turner is the better starter, Marlins are at home, and the Mets can't beat the Fish.
That's just a fact, they can't beat Miami, they could tonight, but I don't see it.
Hey, I ain't perfect, I thought the Giants would crush that lefty Cub pitcher the other night with Bumgarden, that did not happen, I faded Westbrook last week, that blew up on me, nobody is perfect, but I am turning a two year profit though. (Apologies if that comes across egotistical)
I love the Fish at home, with Turner in this spot. There is a reason the Fish are a -119 favorite.
I really love this play tonight.
Pass, fade, or tail, it's all good to me. Just putting my thoughts out there for you all.
Best of luck.
