Benson somewhat vulnerable to lefthanded power and average 7 HR
allowed in 35 IP 35 hits 13 walks .257 aver.
top of Marlins lineup Pierre (L), Castillo (S), Cabrerra killin everyone, and
Delgado (L) power and aver. very capable of big innings vs. Benson
considering his vulnerabilties to that lefthanded power. Be looking for
Delgado to have a big RBI day.
Moehler a little more steady vs. both sides of plate, especially righties,
so can't see the top of the Mets lineup doing quite the same amount
of damage.
Mets don't have any viable lefthanded relievers that are going to scare
the Marlins either. Marlins outside of closer Jones steady against both
sides has no viable middle relief. Marlins should score early and late,
looking for Mets to get some late runs to push game over the total 8.5
but hoping Marlins can score enough late also to hang on for the side.
My #'s Mets Benson should only be a -106 short favorite
Mets/Marlins OVER 9.5 -120
taking
Marlins Moehler +112 1.5 unit play
Marlins/Mets OVER 8.5 -110 3 unit play
