Summary
Freddy Peralta faces his former team Tuesday with Tampa Bay favored over a Mets club already out of postseason contention at 62-76.
Peralta has held Mets hitters to a .131 average, while Francisco Lindor is 1-for-11 against him with five strikeouts and Christopher Morel is 2-for-11 with seven strikeouts.
Sean Manaea starts for New York after posting a 4.55 ERA across 28 appearances; his August faded after a strong opening, with 14 earned runs allowed over his final 18 innings.
