New York Mets -130 over Washington:
The Mets won a hard fought game last night in game one of this three game set. Carlos Beltran returned to the lineup after missing a few games with a stomach virus and the Mets appear to be getting back on track. John Maine takes the mound tonight and has been pitching really well of late after a rough start. He’s allowed only one run in his last 12 innings pitched, winning both decisions. Maine is 5-3 on the season with a 3.75 ERA.

Washington counters with John Lannan, who is pretty much their ace. He’s a solid lefty, but is only 2-5 with a 4.21 ERA. Pretty good ERA, but his record speaks to how bad the Nationals are.

OVER 10.5 Texas/Boston:
Looks like a high scoring affair today at Fenway park as the Rangers look to take the first two of this series against the Red Sox. Texas won 5-1 last night behind Kevin Milwood, who has been excellent in 2009.

Jon Lester takes the hill for the Red Sox. Lester has not been his usual self this year, pitching to a 4-5 record and a 5.65 ERA. We cant figure out what’s wrong with Lester, but we assume at some point this season he’ll turn this around. Rookie Derek Holland gets the call for the Rangers. Holland is one of their top prospects, but probably isn’t quite ready to make an impact at this level. Holland is 1-2 with a 6.33 ERA in limited appearances thus far. The over looks good today as the Sox try to bounce back from last night.
