Craig Trapp 7/5
Craig Trapp
New York Mets vs. Philadelphia Phillies
Play: New York Mets
Hard to believe that we are getting the best pitcher in the National League at even money. Santana is going for the NYM today and trying to end a 2 game losing streak for the Mets. Santana had a really tough outing the last time out but just throw it out to a bad night. A ton of injuries have this Mets team at best half strength but if they can score three runs Santana will do the rest. A complete game winner Santana will not give up more than 1 run.
For Philly today they go to struggling pitcher Blanton. Blanton has not won in his last 6 starts and his ERA is over 4.5 in those starts. Today he will get banged around and not make it out of the 6th inning. Another problem for Phillies lately has been the bullpen as they are one of the worst in recent years. PHI has not been great at the plate either only scoring over 4 runs in one game in last 5.
Score: NYM 5 - PHI 1
