Money Line PickBest Bet
NY Mets Win(-120)

The New York Mets and Arizona Diamondbacks are one of the FOX games on Saturday night. The Mets won last night, 3-1, with some 10th-inning drama. That win makes 4 in the last 5 games for the Mets. The Snakes, on the other hand, have fallen into a slump, losing 7 of their last 8. While I realize it seems like complete folly to take a ticket on the Mets, and they have already demonstrated this season that they are entirely untrustworthy, I am going to take the bait on Saturday anyway. Give me the Mets to win this game.

The pitching matchup should favor the Mets in a lopsided way. Clay Holmes has been nothing but quality for the Mets, even when they refuse to give him run support. He has given up 2 runs or less in every start this season. Merrill Kelly on the other hand, has been a mess. At 37 years old, we should not expect much, but it appears that the cliff has been steep this year. Kelly has allowed 19 runs in his last 3 starts, and he has pushed his ERA to almost 10.00. I’m not sure how we look at that and project anything but a Mets win. Let’s go with it.
