Mets are in Florida with typical late summer Miami conditions and Thunderstorm looming humidity is very high, but winds are mild with 10mph blowing East expected to decrease by game time. This match up tells the tale of two pitchers coming off their respective outing with performance unlike themselves. Oliver Perez threw 9 innings shutout against the Braves with 1 walk at home. But lets not forget he is 3-11 with 6.58 ERA and 1-6 in his last 10 with 6.29 ERA. Josh Johnson took a beating against Phillies 9 hits, 5 runs, 4 walks in 4 2/3 innings. He was also touched in Milwaukee not figuring in the outcome and yes rookie in September is traditionally hard, but Marlins at home is a different animal Johnson was at the top of National League ERA before the last 2 games and currently holding at 4th. He is 11-5 in 23 games with 3.14 ERA since joining the rotation. He has 2 season starts against NYM and yet to give up a run to the Mets with 13 strike outs. Fish bats came alive yesterday and they will be tough here tonight.
