Matz (3-1) secured the win after allowing two runs on five hits and striking out four over seven innings Sunday against Milwaukee.
EDGE Analysis
Matz cruised through the first six innings before surrendering a two-run blast by Mike Moustakas, his only blemish of the game. Matz has been rock solid in each of his past two outings, giving up three runs over 13 innings while striking out 10. He'll look to carry this momentum into his next start, which lines up for Friday, also against the Brewers.

Matz (2-1) yielded one run on three hits and two walks while earning the win over Philadelphia on Monday. He fanned six batters.
EDGE Analysis
It was a promising start after his disastrous outing last time he faced the Phillies, allowing eight runs without recording an out. Matz allowed a solo shot to Rhys Hoskins in the fourth inning for the lone run his opponent would score. The southpaw lowered his ERA to 4.03 in 22.1 frames this season. Matz take on the Brewers on Sunday.

Matz (1-1) took the loss Tuesday, getting hammered for eight runs (six earned) on four hits, a walk and a HBP while failing to record an out as the Mets fell 14-3 to the Phillies.
EDGE Analysis
Two of the hits left the park off the bats of Scott Kingery and Maikel Franco, while shortstop Amed Rosario also committed two errors behind him. Matz saw his ERA triple as a result of the disaster, rising from 1.65 to 4.96, but the southpaw will need to shake it off quickly -- his next start is a rematch with the Phillies, set for Monday back home at Citi Field.

Matz (1-0) allowed two earned runs on four hits and one walk while striking out eight across six innings to earn the win Thursday against the Braves.
EDGE Analysis
Matz allowed runs in both the first and second innings, but then settled in and retired 11 straight batters prior to a single by Ronald Acuna. He has now recorded eight strikeouts in consecutive outings, racking up 19 across 16.1 innings for the season. It's been a strong start to the campaign for Matz, as he has a 1.65 ERA and 1.04 WHIP through three starts.

Matz allowed two hits and four walks across five scoreless innings against the Nationals on Saturday. He struck out eight but did not factor in the decision.
EDGE Analysis
Matz exited the game with a 1-0 lead, but both offenses came alive once the bullpens entered the game. The 27-year-old has given up three runs (one earned) in his first two starts (10.1 innings) of the season. Matz lines up to take the mound again Thursday versus the Braves.

Matz allowed three runs (one earned) on six hits while striking out three and taking the no-decision in 5.1 innings during Monday's 7-3 win over Miami.
EDGE Analysis
Matz got tagged early with a two-run shot by Starlin Castro in the first frame. He then allowed just two hits until the sixth inning where he allowed his third run and left in line for a loss. Fortunately, his team came through against Miami's bullpen to avoid the blemish on his record. Matz will face the Nationals on Sunday.

Matz surrendered eight runs on seven hits and a walk and struck out one over two innings Friday against Washington.
EDGE Analysis
Matz was hit early and often, giving up five runs in the first and three more in the second inning on four homers by the Nationals. The 27-year-old has yet to find consistency this spring and sits with a 10.97 ERA with eight punchouts over 10.2 frames (four starts).

Matz covered four scoreless frames in Sunday's 9-1 Grapefruit League win over the Cardinals, conceding three hits and one walk while striking out two.
EDGE Analysis
With a 5.19 ERA and 1.62 WHIP across 8.2 innings in his three outings, Matz hasn't been impressive on the whole, but Sunday's start marked a step in the right direction. So long as the lefty escapes the spring healthy and with his velocity sitting at its usual levels, Matz should be an effective back-end rotation arm for the Mets and a worthy late-round flier for fantasy purposes.

Matz was tagged for four runs on five hits and two walks and struck out two over 2.2 innings in Monday's 9-3 exhibition loss to the Red Sox.
EDGE Analysis
Matz ceded a home run for the second time in as many outings this spring, with Gorkys Hernandez taking him deep with two runners on in the second inning. If healthy, the lefty is already assured a spot in the Mets' Opening Day rotation, so his spring results won't have much bearing on his job status.

Matz and the Mets agreed to a one-year, $2.625 million contract Friday, avoiding arbitration, Mike Puma of the New York Post reports.
EDGE Analysis
Matz will more than quadruple his salary after earning just $577,000 last season. The raise comes after a season in which the lefty made a career-high 30 starts, finishing with a 3.97 ERA.
