After targeting the YRFI in game two of the series between the Philadelphia Phillies and Los Angeles Dodgers, we go back to the well by taking the YRFI again in game three. Before Wednesday's main event, we shift our focus towards the matchup between the New York Mets and Colorado Rockies as both offenses are in a position to open up the scoring early against two struggling pitchers.

Wednesday's main event matchup presents us with the conclusion of a three game series between the Philadelphia Phillies and Los Angeles Dodgers, a series that has been largely pegged as a potential NLCS preview. Their reunion deep into the playoffs would provide us with must-see television as both the Dodgers and Phillies are listed as the top two betting favorites to win the World Series.
While the Dodgers came into the year listed as the rightful favorite to win it all, the Phillies have steadily built a case to be their closest contender. This is in large part of their dominant offense and lethal pitching staff, a club that ranks well above league average in Team Total Hits, RBIs, Total Runs Scored, On Base Percentage, and Team Total Pitching ERA. Their defense has steadily declined, but still ranks in the top half of the league in Defensive Efficiency.
Their decline in Defensive Efficiency leaves their pitcher Tyler Phillips vulnerable to negative regression as their back end has masked his poor level of play in his minimal appearances so far this season. In five games played, Phillips possesses a WHIP of 1.013 and a FIP of 5.16. Expect his WHIP to be tested from the jump as the Dodgers offense ranks near the top of the board in the same previously mentioned metrics.
On the other side of the field, the Dodgers roll out Gavin Stone who gets the task of having to battle it out against Kyle Schwarber, two time Hits leader Trea Turner, and former MVP Bryce Harper. A daunting task for any pitcher, let alone Stone who has struggled with keeping opposing runners off the bases. Entering Wednesday’s matchup against the Phillies, Stone takes the mound with a WHIP of 1.299, 114 Hits Against, and 45 Earned Runs Allowed.

While the matchup between the New York Mets and Colorado Rockies does not compare to the Dodgers and Phillies in terms of excitement, it still presents us another valuable YRFI opportunity nonetheless. The Mets are currently in the mix for one of the three highly coveted wildcard spots in the NL, desperately trying to create separation from the Atlanta Braves, Arizona Diamondbacks, and San Diego Padres.
They have a great opportunity to continue to climb up the wildcard standings against the lowly Rockies, exposing Colorado’s bottom ranked marks in Defensive Efficiency and Team Total Pitching ERA. Ryan Feltner’s low level of play has been a direct reflection of their poor defensive marks, entering Wednesday’s contest with an ERA of 4.97, a WHIP of 1.409, a FIP of 4.33, 132 Hits Against, and 67 Earned Runs Allowed in 22 games played.
As for the Mets, pitching continues to be a thorn in their side as they also rank below league average in Team Total Pitching ERA. Knowing they needed an uptick in pitching production to help salvage their season, the Mets acquired Paul Blackburn from the Oakland Athletics at the trade deadline. While a nice depth piece, Blackburn still struggles with limiting opposing offensive production as he takes the mound with an ERA of 4.11 and FIP of 4.40.
