Alexa Smart: Back Glavine & Mets at Cards
With a strong advantage on the starting pitcher front, the Mets are the best play tonight against the Cardinals in St. Louis.
The Mets' starting pitcher, Tom Glavine, is perfect in the playoffs this season with a 2-0 record and a 0.00 ERA. The veteran hurler has been money all season, as is evident by his 15-7 record and stingy 3.82 ERA. Who better to have in a pivotal play off game than a capable veteran like Glavine?
The Cards on the other hand throw out Jeff Weaver to face a powerful Mets batting order that has averaged 5.5 RPG this season, something that must send shivers down the spines of Cardinals fans considering Weaver's 2-7 record and bloated 7.70 ERA on the season at home. Big games depend on clutch pitching, and who better to back in a situation like this than a thrower like Glavine who has won 14 postseason victories, second only to the Braves' John Smoltz. Play on Glavine and the Mets to cash.
