Chris Paddack, RH (6-4, 2.70, 95 Ks) - San Diego Padres


Jason Vargas, LH (4-5, 4.25, 68 Ks) - New York Mets

PADRES: Paddack is making his first start since he nearly no-hit the Marlins. Paddack went seven no-hit innings before Starlin Castro's leadoff homer in the eighth. Paddack finished the game going 7 2/3 innings, allowing just one run and striking out eight.

METS: Scouts showing interest in Vargas prior to the Trade Deadline know what he is at this point. The veteran left-hander has pitched somewhere between four and seven innings in 14 of his 16 starts, allowing one to four runs in all but two of them.

Citi Field




Dinelson Lamet, RH (0-2, 5.14, 19 Ks) - San Diego Padres


Noah Syndergaard, RH (7-4, 4.36, 118 Ks) - New York Mets

PADRES: Lamet is looking to get in the win column for the first time this season. Last time out, he allowed three runs (one earned) and six hits in four innings vs. Miami. He struck out five batters and walked two.

METS: If the Padres are indeed interested in acquiring Syndergaard prior to the July 31 Trade Deadline, they’ll receive a first-hand look at him. Earlier this season, Syndergaard allowed five runs (four earned) in a Mets win in San Diego.

Citi Field




Eric Lauer, LH (5-7, 4.31, 79 Ks) - San Diego Padres


Jacob deGrom, RH (5-7, 3.02, 154 Ks) - New York Mets

PADRES: In his first start since coming off the bereavement list, Lauer threw 4 2/3 innings and allowed five runs vs. the Cubs. He struck out seven batters and walked three.

METS: Over his last 11 starts, deGrom has produced a 2.31 ERA but just two wins. He’ll look to take his season ERA below 3.00 for the first time since April against the Padres, whom he held to two runs in seven innings in a May 6 defeat in San Diego.
