Sunday afternoon, the Miami Marlins will give the ball to Brad Hand as they square off against the New York Mets and Jacob deGrom. It will be Hand's 5 ^th start and 19^th appearance and deGrom's 12^th start.

Brad Hand pitched to a no-decision in his last outing and that held his record at 0 - 1 with a save and a 5.09 ERA. In that start, Hand allowed just a run on 8 hits through 6.1 innings. He walked 2 and struck out 2. Hand hasn't been that impressive in the 1^st half of the season and it remains to be seen if he can turn it around in the 2^nd half. Last season, Hand posted a record of 1 - 1 with a 3.05 ERA in 2 starts and 5 relief appearances.

In 2013, Hand was 0 - 1 with a 4.91 ERA in a start and a relief appearance against the Mets. This season, he has made 3 relief appearances against New York. In 3 innings of work, he has allowed 2 hits with no walks and 2 strikeouts.

Jacob deGrom improved his record to 2 - 5 with an ERA of 3.38 after getting the win in his last outing. In that start, deGrom pitched 7 shutout innings and allowed 7 hits without walking a batter and striking out 11. It was the 3^rd time that deGrom had held the opposition scoreless and was definitely the best start of his young career.

The rookie right-hander has faced the Marlins once before this season and it was one of his shutout performances. He held the Marlins scoreless in 7 innings as he allowed 5 hits and 3 walks while striking out 7 in the victory.
