New York Mets (22-19) @ Atlanta Braves (22-21)
Pitching:
Mets: John Maine (5-2) 2.81
Maine is 2-2 on the Road with an ERA of 3.33
Maine is 2-1 in Day Games with an ERA of 3.63
Bullpen has a 5.09 ERA on the Road. Usually going 2.6 IP and allowing 1.8 Runs.
Braves: Tom Glavine (1-1) 4.41
Glavine is 0-0 (in 2 GS) at home with an ERA of 6.52
Glavine is 0-1 in Day games with an ERA of 15.43
(This was from a day game at home vs. Cincinnati where Glavine gave up 6 ER in 4.2 IP. Final score was 14-7 Braves.)
Bullpen has a 2.82 ERA at Home. Usually going 3.7 IP and allowing 1.5 Runs.
Batting:
Mets Averages:
5.0 Runs in All Games
5.4 Runs in Road Games
5.0 Runs vs. LHP
5.6 Runs in Last 7 Games
Hitting Percentages:
.284 vs. LHP
.266 on the Road
.260 in Day Games
Braves Averages:
4.8 Runs in All Games
5.8 Runs in Home Games
5.6 Runs vs. RHP
4.0 Runs in Last 7 Games
Hitting Percentages:
.283 vs. RHP
.312 at Home
.299 at Home
Based on these numbers:
Mets will score 5.25 Runs (based on their average runs scored in those 4 categories).
Braves will score 5.00 Runs (based on their average runs scored in those 4 categories).
That totals 10.25 before you factor in the pitchers poor ERA's in the categories, and the good batting for each team as well.
Concerns: The Mets/Braves rivalry that may keep the game under control as far as runs go. These teams met twice earlier this year in Atlanta in early April. The first game was 11-5 Braves with the Pitchers being Maine/Hudson. The second game was 3-1 Braves with the pitchers being Santana/Smoltz. Obviously Santana and Smoltz are better than the other two.
I feel very confident that both teams are going to score runs.
