New York Mets at St Louis Cardinals
Prediction: St Louis Cardinals

Both these teams off to disappoining starts. The Mets gave Oliver Perez some big money and have 1-1 and 7.84 as their return. Perez was lit up in road start at Cinn and faces far better lineup here. The Red Birds are 8-5 with the arson squad errrrrr the bullpen responsible for three of those losses, an area supposedly addresed by St Louis in the off-season. Todd Wellemeyer stopped light hitting Arizona on seven hits in seven inning in last and anything close gets St Louis a win here. Take the Cardinals.
