Those records show that in general, Mets pitchers are better than Florida's pitchers. Tonight, however, the Marlins have the better guy on the mound. Are you saying it's a good idea to blindly bet the best few teams in the league when they are dogs?
I agree that starting pitchers are over-examined by the public, but books set the line to get equal action, not by who they think will win.
Mets are 8-3 away vs. lefties scoring 7.11 runs/game, 9 runs/game vs. L last 10!. Fla scores 4.31 home vs. R. Mets are 16-5 game 1 after a win. They are feeling their oats after coming off a road sweep of a Braves team that owned them in the past, was hot and trash. Sanchez injury is a bad break, but I would not bet agaist them. Olsen coming off 2 shutouts due for a 5-6 inning/3 run effort. Top prospect Pelfrey has great stuff and should bounce back from 5 run stinker. I believe his first two games (5-6 IP/2ER) is more representative. Chasing the hot pitcher, going to the well once too often will kill you in the long run, as they usually come back to earth. Pitchers off bad outings usually bounce back. Go Mets.
