Tell me why I shouldnt place a large wager on the mets

They have Maine pitching tonight who is 4-0 with a era of 1.35 vs the winless Johnson whos era is over 6. I just think that -123 is a small price to pay with a lot of value. Is there something Im missing?

Dubpoet · May 4, 2007

I believe there is some history of good pitching from that guy Johnson.

a153 · May 4, 2007

Maine isn't as good as his numbers say he is.

Jadyn · May 4, 2007

Yeah history is the key word. He is old and I think the public sees his name and blindly bets him.

Mets in recent years hit Johnson well, with this Mets lineup today look for an easy Met win.

Jadyn · May 4, 2007

Thanks for the input guys. Anyone else got any insight on this game?

Dubpoet · May 4, 2007

The only thing I have on this game is Under 10 -135 in a small parlay! Good Luck in what you do.

Mets are my play of the day. Mets love playing in Arizona, think they have won 11 in a row down there.

CHOPTALK · May 4, 2007

Yes, the Mets are an awesome play.

Jadyn · May 4, 2007

Thanks just getting my feet wet with betting baseball. This line just stood out to me and wanted some input. much appreciated!

Only reason to duck it is the hmp ump. 3-14 losers for the Mets last 17 times he has faced them at home plate.

Az has shown some nice giddy up this year. Johnson's 2nd game back was MUCH better. Az is a nice doggy value at home

Here is Johnson's career stat's vs NY Mets.
G GS W L SV CG SHO IP H R ER HR BB K ERA WHIP BAA
14 14 6 5 0 1 1 90.1 92 46 36 10 21 107 3.59 1.25 .260

GL on which ever way you go, I do like VALUE in the Mets in this one.

No.

The Mets are a very public play. 88% of public are on the Mets tonight. Only the Tigers beating the Royals is a bigger favorite.

Hes 4-0 with a 1.35 era right?

How about you look at the teams he did that against Nationals, Rockies, St Louis those are the worst teams in the NL. He had a 4 inning 2er 6 walk game against the Phillies . I'm not saying its a bad bet tonight just saying those numbers dont really mean much right now its too early

Very good eye. That did scare me when I looked up the matchup & saw Maine's season stats to date:

<table border="0" cellpadding="1" cellspacing="1" width="100%"><tbody><tr class="bg1" valign="top"><th> </th> <th>OPP</th> <th>W</th> <th>L</th> <th>SV</th> <th>IP</th> <th>H</th> <th>ER</th> <th>BB</th> <th>SO</th> </tr> <tr class="bg2"> <td>04/04</td><td>@STL</td><td>1</td><td>0</td><td>0</td><td>7.0</td><td>1</td><td>0</td><td>2</td><td>6</td> </tr> <tr class="bg2"> <td>04/09</td><td>PHI</td><td>0</td><td>0</td><td>0</td><td>4.2</td><td>5</td><td>2</td><td>6</td><td>4</td> </tr> <tr class="bg2"> <td>04/18</td><td>@FLA</td><td>1</td><td>0</td><td>0</td><td>7.0</td><td>2</td><td>2</td><td>4</td><td>7</td> </tr> <tr class="bg2"> <td>04/23</td><td>COL</td><td>1</td><td>0</td><td>0</td><td>7.2</td><td>7</td><td>1</td><td>2</td><td>5</td> </tr> <tr class="bg2"> <td>04/29</td><td>@WAS</td><td>1</td><td>0</td><td>0</td><td>7.0</td><td>3</td><td>0</td><td>3</td><td>8</td></tr></tbody></table>
I still decided on Mets but as a weaker play feeling that Maine would outlast the Big Unit. It's obvious that it all depends on Maine's control as evidenced by his 2+ walks every outing.
