Two young pitchers will meet in a game at Marlins Park on Wednesday when the New York Mets and the Miami Marlins collide on Wednesday. Getting the start for the Marlins in this game will be Tom Koehler (9-9), while the Mets will counter with Jacob deGrom (7-6).

One of the top rookies in the National League throughout the season has been the 26-year-old deGrom. He had a brief stint on the disabled list last month and after getting shelled in his first start back for 5 earned runs in 6 innings against the Los Angeles Dodgers, bounced back in a big way in his last start. Against the Philadelphia Phillies, he allowed 1 unearned run in 7 innings on 4 hits and recorded 5 strikeouts. Following the start, his ERA dropped to 2.94, the lowest it has been since late May. In 2 previous starts against the Marlins, he has given up just 10 hits in 43 at-bats including just 3 extra-base hits.

Koehler has more experience in his big league career, but he is still learning with each start. He hasn't recorded a decision in his past 2 starts, but has pitched well enough to get the victory. In 161.1 innings this season, he has recorded 126 strikeouts with 58 walks. His ERA is a respectable 3.79 and he currently has a 1.25 WHIP. In his career against current members of the Mets, he has allowed 23 hits in 134 at-bats.
