Let’s take the Mets over the Yankees this afternoon as our Sunday free winner.

We’re getting a great price on Johan Santana, obviously because of the opponent and venue, but it’s still hard to pass up on a pitcher like him as a small dog.

Santana hasn’t dominated in his last few starts, but he’s still 2-1 in his last three outings. The left-hander has also had success against the Yankees in his career, going 4-1 with a 3.15 ERA in seven games.

The Yankees will counter with A. J. Burnett and you never really know what you’re going to get from the talented, but erratic, right-hander.

Burnett is 2-6 with a 3.83 ERA in 16 career games versus the Mets.

The Mets bounced back from that crazy loss on Friday night by pounding out 17 hits in last night’s 6-2 win. Look for more of the same this afternoon.

Take the Mets as they grab the win.
