At 7:10 pm, our complimentary selection is on the New York Mets over Chicago. The Mets have yet to win a series this season, going 0-4 thus far, but are poised to finally break through, provided they can win tonight, and thus win 3 of the 4 games vs. the Cubs. And, fortunately for the Mets, they’ll hand the ball to their best pitcher, veteran lefty Johan Santana. He’s dominated the Cubs, with a 2-0 record and a 1.69 ERA and in his last start vs. Chicago, he struck out 10 Cubbies en route to a 6-2 win. Tom Gorzelanny, in contrast, has struggled vs. New York in his career, with a 1-2 record, and a dismal 7.05 ERA (and a 1.95 WHIP). Gorzelanny is also winless on the season, as Chicago has dropped both of his starts, primarily because its offense has had no punch in his outings (2 runs per game). The Cubs are a horrid 11-31 as an underdog, while Santana is a spectacular 102-33 as a favorite priced at -150 or higher. Take the New York Mets. Good luck, as always…Big Al McMordie.
