Phillies @ Mets

[unde0087]

Time for Mets to put Phillies away for good. I think they will take this series and lengthen the lead they have in the division. Both these teams are going in opposite directions. Mets sweeping the Brewers in Milwaukee and Phillies got beat up by the Nationals.

Meltdown starts here? I think not

It is on!

what say you..........

[fifawcs]

Get Pelfrey at this cheap price. Myers isn't good. Recently he has been deceiving the public because he has either pitched at home or versus bad/struggling teams (Nats, Cubs, Braves)

Pelfrey is an ace at home.

[unde0087]

ya, i am on them, i will be on them every game this series most likely, Phillies have been paying rent to the Mets all season long.

[Kingctb27]

Lol Myers is twice the pitcher that Pelfrey is. Yes he struggled early on, but his stuff is very good now that his velocity is back. I got them at +125 last night, and now they are even. It's already a win for me.

[ryanXL977]

myers is substantially better than pelfrey

pelfrey is a number3-4

myers is a number 2

mets may win bc they are a better offense right now, but myers is waaay better than pelfrey

[Wilforth]

Mets at -127 are very cheap, IMHO.
The Mets will sweep the Phillies in this series. The losses to the Nationals underlines the Phillies' current form.
Go Mets

[ryanXL977]

myers has shiut down:

cubs
dodgers 2 times
wash
pitt
stl
wash again

some offenses are good, some are bad, but to say lad 2x, cubs once, and discounting stl is not very fair.

3 of those teams were or are in the playoff hunt

[Wilforth]

myers is substantially better than pelfrey

Not after the All-Stars break.

[Wilforth]

If he pitches well tonight, Myers will only help keep the game Under 8.5. That's all he may achieve, which means Mets and Under will cash.

[ryanXL977]

myers is WAAAY better post asb than pelfrey and its not even close
go check your stats again my friend

i am not saying phils win, but to compare these pitchers is silly
its not even close

[unde0087]

Phillies are pathetic right now, just losing a series to the mighty Nationals and have lost 5 out of 8. Mets have won 6 out of 7, with 4 straight sweeping the Brewers on the road.

Myers has pitched well of late but don't be fooled by his recent success, 2-7, 2008 road record sporting a hefty over 6 ERA in those games. And this guy is going to come into New York and shut down a Mets lineup that just took care of the Brewers pitching staff? Good Luck

[ryanXL977]

again, mets may win, but myeres is better than pelfrey
pelfrey is a completely average sp with no pen at all

[BadBeatBodog]

I think people let small losing/winning streaks affect their betting too much. These are flawed teams in the NL; a truly good team is consistent and wins series after series. The Phils, Mets, Duds, DBacks, and even Brew Crew have been pretty up and down throughout the second half. Remember when the Duds lost eight straight going into Chase stadium? Those eight straight losses were a big factor in some people's capping, but then the Duds took two out of three.

I guess my point is, don't put too much stock in the Mets winning six out of seven and the Phillies losing two of three to the Nationals. There are countless better things to look at.

[ryanXL977]

exactly right

[BadBeatBodog]

FWIW:

Myers has been ridiculous in the second half, posting a 1.78 ERA and .607 OPS against all with a healthy .300 BAbip

[ryanXL977]

yeah, these people comparing him to pelfrey are insane

[unde0087]

Pelfrey, 3-0 with a 1.71 ERA and two complete games over his last four games. How many complete games does Myers have this season? Pelfrey has more wins and has a lower ERA. So in what way does Myers have Pelfrey?

[ryanXL977]

how can you pick and choose when to start counting? why his last 4? what about last 8? what about last 10?
again, mets may be better but there is value on philly

[fifawcs]

Ryan, Myers is the better pitcher if you want to talk about stuff. But in his current form and for this game, I would take Pelfrey easily. Pelfrey has a 2.66 ERA at shea. Although myers has been good in the second half, his road era isn't as impressive. 6.01 ERA, 1.65 WHIP, .307 BAA.

[ryanXL977]

he is better than pelfrey, in the second half, in every single way
if you are betting strictly pitchers and value, then its no contest, phils+125 easily
if you are betting better team, i am thinking the mets are obviously a bit better right now

but id take value anyday

you guys are underrating a very very good pitcher
mets have no pen

[ICE-BLOOD]

mets and pelfrey are underestimated here.
pelfs is a good pitcher.
mets are better and home
laying -135 is ok here

[ryanXL977]

nothing wrong with either side here
the value aint on the mets though

we will see
huge series for phils

[BigD]

I think the mets put the philes away this weekend

[ryanXL977]

that may be true

[ICE-BLOOD]

I think the mets put the philes away this weekend

mets -175 for the series

possible rain out saturday

[ryanXL977]

i think a better seires bet is az with haren, unit , and webby

plus money

[ICE-BLOOD]

i think a better seires bet is az with haren, unit , and webby

plus money

hmm, i don't know.
dodgers on 5 game win streak
dodgers home
la has 3 decent starters going
la only 1.5 back.
they might get pumped up for this

[AnotherLoan]

Took the over here.

[darrell74]

Mets are playing some good ball. Pelfrey has been pretty good, in the last three starts. Myers has been good, too.
I think I'll throw a unit on the Mets, because they're, currently, playing better baseball.

[ryanXL977]

if myers sucks, then i wanna suck

you guys crack me up

[ryanXL977]

bbbbrettttttmmmmmyyyyyyerrrrrssssss isnt bad


he is an asshole
he is no worse than zambrano

[ryanXL977]

uhoh
phils doin it

valeu people

[fifawcs]

What does the user name Ryan XL refer to?

[ryanXL977]

my names ryan

the XL is for my oversized opinions

[fifawcs]

I knew that ur name was ryan. I was merely inquiring about the XL. Thank you for clarifying. This Tigers game is going nowhere.
