One of trus baby mommas
I would like some input about this Phillies game from people..
WHY DO YOU LIKE THE METS??
Above I posted my breakdown but I have a few things to add about this game.
People keep saying "Mets kill LHP" but I don't exactly buy that. At one point they were hitting LHP at .331, now its .317 overall and .276 in their last 10 games. I think that # is inflated and it is near impossible to maintain that type of average. I think it begins a downward march to a more sustainable average of .280-.290, still good but not .317 good.
Another reason why people are backing the Mets is simply "they can't get swept" and originally that concerned me but baseball is a streaky sport and this team is in a bad funk.
Mets: 3-5 last 8 games, batting .180, average 2.75runs/game over that span.
They are not a dominant home team (17-15)
The lineup is weak as hell today:
Reyes (SS), Gotay (2b), Beltran (CF), Delgado (1b), Wright (3b), LoDuca (C), Newhan (LF), Gomez (RF), Maine (P)...
The bullpen has just fucked up the last 2 nights.
Also want to add the pitchers they have faced lately:
Eaton = 6ip, 5h, 2er, 2bb, 4k
Moyer = 7ip, 8h, 2er, 2bb, 1k ***(LHP)
Davis = 7.2ip, 6h, 1er, 3bb, 6k *** (LHP)
Hernandez = 6ip, 8h, 3er, 2bb, 2k
Webb = 8ip, 4h, 1r, 0er, 1bb, 8k
Cain = 7ip, 10h, 4er, 2bb, 5k
Zito = 7ip, 6h, 0er, 1bb, 7k **** (LHP)
Lincecum = 7ip, 3h, 3er, 3bb, 8k
Of the 8 games, 3 have been against LHP and they total:
21.2ip, 20h, 3er, 6bb, 14k
Now as more NYM money comes in, we are looking at Hamels +110 type line and there is def value there.
