MLB - 957 Philadelphia Phillies @ 958 New York Mets
(Starting Pitchers: C. Hamels vs D. Matsuzaka)
Daisuke Matsuzaka will make his second start for the Mets tonight and he is coming from five runs allowed on five innings on his first against Detroit. His stats of 9.00 ERA, 7.23 FIP and 4.79 xFIP clear show that this was a poor outing. He doesn't have quality to be a MLB SP anymore, with 88 mph fastballs and with a 17.2 P/IP! Therefore, Philadelphia should be able to make a good amount of damage on him tonight.
The Phillies will start Cole Hamels, who has been super solid lately. He faced three top teams (Arizona, LA Dodgers, Atlanta) on his last three outings and Philadelphia won all these three contests, with Hamels having a 2.75, 2.60 and 1.37 FIP on them! Excellent! The Mets's offense is struggling right now and even though they scored five runs yesterday, they hit just .167 BA and three of their five runs came from a single hit by their SP Jonathon Niese! With a clear SP edge tonight, I expect the Phillies to get revenge from yesterday's loss and pick an easy win tonight.
Pick: 3 units (Single Dime Play) on 957 Philadelphia Phillies RL -1 (w/ C. Hamels) @ -129 / 1.78 on 5Dimes
