Luis Severino Strikes Out Seven To Lead Mets Past Marlins
New York Mets starting pitcher Luis Severino struck out seven Marlins in six innings and picked up the win in the Mets' 1-0 victory over the Miami Marlins on Saturday. Severino's record now sits at 7-3 and saw his ERA decrease to 3.58 on the season. Though the right-hander walked three batters, he only gave up two hits and had a minimal amount of stressful innings to deal with. With the Mets holding onto the final wild card spot in the NL, performances like Severino's on Saturday against a subpar opponent are incredibly critical. It also is unlikely for Severino to be a part of any trade discussions if the Mets are still in the wild card race come July 30th. His next scheduled start is set for Thursday when the Mets host the Atlanta Braves.
New York Mets right-hander Luis Severino turned in a quality start in his team's 6-2 win over the Washington Nationals on Wednesday. Severino allowed two runs on four hits over 6 1/3 innings while striking out four and walking three to pick up the win. While the three walks weren't great to see, Severino still bounced back from a rough outing that saw him allow seven runs in his previous start. Severino heads into the All-Star break with a 6-3 record, 3.78 ERA, 1.19 WHIP, and 81 strikeouts over 109 2/3 innings of work. Severino has been a reliable fantasy starting pitcher this season, even though his strikeout numbers are down from previous seasons.
New York Mets starting pitcher Luis Severino had his best start of the season on Sunday Night Baseball against the Chicago Cubs, throwing six shutout innings to pick up his fifth win of the season in a 5-2 victory. Severino was firing on all cylinders in this one, allowing just three hits and striking out ten while walking none. It was his first double-digit strikeout effort of the season and the first time he allowed no runs in a start. Some fantasy managers in deeper leagues may have given up on Severino after a bad start against the Texas Rangers last week, and he is worthy of an add in those formats. In standard size leagues, taking a shot on Severino could make sense if pitching is a need, but he will have to show this more often to become a must-roster player.
Luis Severino Moved Up To Sunday, David Peterson Pushed Back
The New York Mets have tweaked their starting rotation slightly, moving right-hander Luis Severino up to Sunday's contest at Wrigley Field against the Cubs, with left-hander David Peterson being pushed back. Severino will now get a better matchup, as he was previously slated to start against the first-place New York Yankees on Tuesday. Peterson will now likely start early next week in a tougher matchup against the Bombers. Severino allowed a season-high six earned runs on eight hits while walking one and striking out one in 6 1/3 innings his last time out against the Rangers. Overall, he's been serviceable with a 3.52 ERA and 1.19 WHIP in 84 1/3 innings and 14 starts, but he's also carrying a career-low 17.4% strikeout rate. Peterson is a perfect 3-0 with a 3.97 ERA and 1.41 WHIP with only 12 K's in 22 2/3 innings over his four starts for the Mets in 2024.
Luis Severino Flirts With No-Hitter In Eight Brilliant Innings
New York Mets starting pitcher Luis Severino teased a no-hitter in Monday's 3-1 loss to the visiting Chicago Cubs, spinning eight innings of one-run ball on one hit and two walks with five strikeouts. Chicago's offense offered little to no resistance up until the late stages of the game, but Dansby Swanson's bloop single in the eighth inning broke up the no-hit bid to spoil a masterful performance out of Severino. It still added to a great start to the campaign for the 30-year-old right-hander, however, who looks revived in the early stages of the year following a strong spring training and now owns a 2.31 ERA, 1.06 WHIP, and 31:11 K:BB through six regular-season starts (35 innings) for the Mets. Severino will take a ton of momentum into his next scheduled start on Saturday on the road against the Tampa Bay Rays, where he'll remain worth deploying in all mixed fantasy leagues.
New York Mets right-hander Luis Severino allowed two runs (one earned) on three hits and two walks while striking out seven over five innings in Saturday's 9-6 loss to the Cincinnati Reds. Severino did not factor into the decision. The 30-year-old had a bases-loaded walk in the second inning for his only earned run of the game. He cruised through the rest of his start and was in the line for the win until the Mets bullpen imploded by allowing five runs in the eighth inning. The former New York Yankee owns a 3.60 ERA, 1.60 WHIP, and 13:2 K: BB across 10 innings in 2024. Severino will look to build on Saturday's solid start in a tough matchup on the road against the Braves on Thursday.
Luis Severino Enjoying Success In Grapefruit League
New York Mets starting pitcher Luis Severino tossed five innings of one run ball versus the Washington Nationals in Grapefruit League action on Sunday. He also allowed four hits with one walk and four strikeouts. The 30-year-old signed a one-year contract with the Mets this offseason after being a New York Yankee for the entirety of his career. Severino had a rough go of it in 2023 with injuries and an ugly 6.65 ERA, but he has shown top tier stuff previously and owns a career 3.79 ERA. Severino has struggled with injuries as he hasn't made over 19 starts since 2018, but he has been mostly productive when on the mound. With an ADP of 298, Severino makes for an intriguing late-round target in deeper leagues. He is now 2-0 with a 1.29 ERA in four starts this spring with 12 strikeouts in 14 innings.
New York Mets right-hander Luis Severino is penciled in as the No. 2 starter behind lefty Jose Quintana to open the 2024 season. He looked sharp in his Grapefruit League debut last week, touching 98 mph on his final pitch while showing good ride on his fastball early on. Severino's mechanics got a little out of whack in his second inning of work, but the Mets aren't concerned at this point. The sinker that he added late last year was moving more down than in to right-handed hitters, and he's working on getting more of that arm-side run to make the pitch effective. The 30-year-old was hurt by injuries in his final season with the Yankees in 2023 and finished with a rough 6.65 ERA and 1.65 WHIP in just 89 1/3 innings, but with better health, he could bounce back and be a worthwhile streaming option in deeper fantasy leagues.
The New York Mets and free-agent right-hander Luis Severino are finalizing a one-year, $13 million deal on Wednesday, according to sources familiar with the deal. The 29-year-old will join a Mets starting rotation in serious need of reinforcements after he spent eight years pitching for the New York Yankees. Severino didn't exactly live up to the high expectations when he initially joined the Yankees, mainly due to various injuries. He wasn't very good in his final season in the Bronx with a 6.65 ERA in only 89 1/3 innings, and his season ended prematurely due to a high-grade oblique strain. Severino should be fully healthy by the start of spring training in 2024, though, and he will be locked into their starting rotation to begin the year.
Free-agent starting pitcher Luis Severino reportedly has at least eight teams interested in his services. According to Will Sammon, the New York Mets are one of the teams showing interest in the right-hander hurler. Severino is coming off a terrible 2023 season, but has a strong track record. Last season, Severino posted a 6.65 ERA, 1.65 WHIP, and 79/34 K/BB ratio across 18 starts. Possibly, he lands a multi-year deal, but could have to settle for a one-year prove it type of deal this offseason. The Mets could certainly use the help in the rotation with multiple voids to fill. On paper, Severino seems like a good fit, but we'll have to wait and see if the two can make a deal.
