The Mets and The Brew Crew played one of the sloppiest games ever on Friday, then followed that up with more misgivings yesterday. Gallardo was key to the final tally of runs for the Crew, and ended up with the win despite a line including 5 IP, and 4ER.
The Mets head out west after this one to watch their super-stud do his thing in AT&T Park. The tenuous series with the D-Backs which included many delays, extra innings, and a couple of gut-wrenching losses as well as a revolving door line-up all give me pause. But the fact is they're hitting, they just haven't put together a good summary of production since Tuesday. I think a lot of that is their home ballpark and I'm betting that it happens today. Also, and in my opinion Hefner vs. Gorezelanny is a mis-match that will leave the Crew fishing into their trade-bait bullpen much earlier than the Mets. If the Mets can go Hef 7, match-up the eighth "out-at-a-time", and hand it over to a rested and apt Parnell, they should have a happier plane ride.
I like the Mets around +106 when I finally see a line at my book.
The Fightin Phils may well have packed-in the year with the Howard DL news. The call-up to fill in "Rusin" makes me question why not groom Mayberry Jr., and is he even in their future plans. Hopefully they at least platoon him at First. Nix played poorly there yesterday but the kid Pettibone spun a gem last time out. Philly hits Medlen well, and between this, and the weather I'm betting on the kid outlasting his counterpart, and digging into the shitty Atlanta Bullpen. Medlen isn't an 8 plus guy in any weather, anyway. Pettibone will be on, and I'm banking that the Fightin's can at least delay their "pack it in" mindset which will infest them once they trade Utley. That said; I think Utley and the boys would love nothing more than to lay an ass-whooping on Atlanta in front of the home crowd. I look for that to go Pettibone 6-7, then match-up, then DeFratus and then Pap, who had the day off yesterday and has been "on" lately.
I'll be taking Rot#952 - Philly +126 in abundance. I hope the market disagrees, I will bet more.
I also played Jose Fernandez and the Fish. The logic behind that should be obvious. +158 for a yummy, all you can eat, fish dinner. I may have seconds
)
Lastly, as my donkey parlay for a pizza bet; 30$ to win 592.84

this is for fun, not enough good NL games to bet today. I hate AL, and do not normally bet any AL games.
Well, I hope you guys all like it, or can glean a differing opinion from it, or in any other way appreciate it. And I hope to make a few quality contacts from the board and reciprocate some useful info .
Good Luck Boys!!!!
