MLB - 953 New York Mets @ 954 St Louis Cardinals
(Starting Pitchers: R. Dickey vs A. Wainwright)
I expect these two great pitchers to bounce back today and make this game a pitchers duel. The Mets will start their ace Dickey today and he has been amazing over the last three outings, where he allowed 1, 1 and 0 runs. Sure the Cardinals have generally a tougher lineup than Colorado, Miami and Houston, however St Louis won't have Allen Craig, Yadier Molina and Matt Holliday on their lineup today plus Dickey has completely dominated the Cardinals previously on this season, with a complete game shutout against them in June. Therefore, I expect Dickey to have another quality outing today.
St Louis will be also starting their ace today, but Wainwright is coming from a very poor outing in Washington, where he allowed six earned runs in just 2.2 innings. However, I believe this was just a bad night because previous to that game, he hadn't allowed more than two earned runs in any of his previous seven starts. He will be facing a poor Mets lineup today, who will be even poorer than usual because David Wright, who has been their best hitter, won't be in their lineup for this contest.
With both pitchers having the all the necessary conditions to have an excellent outing, especially with both teams missing some of their best batters in the lineup, I believe this game will quickly turn into a pitchers duel and therefore, I'll be taking the Under in here.
Pick: 3 units (Single Dime Play) on Under 7,5 (w/ R. Dickey & A. Wainwright) @ -120 / 1.83 on 5Dimes
