On the pitching front, Dedniel Núñez of the Mets has emerged as a formidable force, maintaining an ERA of 0.0 and striking out 27 batters per nine innings in his last appearance. This level of performance from Núñez could prove crucial against a Diamondbacks lineup that has shown resilience and capability.


The Diamondbacks have their own set of performers ready to challenge the Mets. Outfielder Corbin Carroll has been particularly noteworthy with a .600 batting average and an OPS of 1.4 across recent games, indicating his readiness to make an impact. Pitching for Arizona, Kevin Ginkel showcased his skills with an ERA of 0.0 and striking out 13.5 batters per nine innings, hinting at a potential challenge for Mets hitters.
