Chase Field in Phoenix will be the home to a Wednesday afternoon showdown between the Arizona Diamondbacks and the New York Mets. The home team will send right hander Brandon McCarthy to the mound, while the Mets will counter with right hander Dillon Gee.

The Diamondbacks will be hoping to get more out of McCarthy than they have this entire season. He has allowed 17 earned runs in 19 2/3 innings during his first 3 starts and has an 0-2 record. His ERA is 7.78, while his WHIP is at 1.32 and his BAA is .288. In his career against the members of the Mets, McCarthy has had much success. They are hitting just 8-for-34 against him with 1 home run (Juan Lagares) and just one additional extra base hit (Ike Davis, double) allowed. Curtis Granderson has faced him the most of any Met, going 2-for-14.

In 2013, Gee had the best season of his career, going 12-11 with a 3.62 ERA. He averaged 3.02 strikeouts for every walk in his 199 innings pitched, but through 3 starts this season, that number has dropped to 2 strikeouts per walk. He hasn’t earned a decision yet this season and has an ERA of 5.03 in those starts. He has owned Arizona batters during his career, holding them to 14 hits in 65 at-bats. Miguel Montero is the only Diamondback to hit a home run while Martin Prado is just 4-for-23.
