At 7:10 pm, our complimentary selection is on the Florida Marlins over the New York Mets. Florida righthander Adalberto Mendez has a 1-1 record and 1.74 ERA after his first two starts in the Major Leagues, pretty impressive numbers for a 28-year-old rookie who went undrafted as an amateur and was first signed by the Cubs back in 2001. Add to this the fact that in his first two MLB starts, Mendez faced the defending National League Champion Philadelphia Phillies, and that takes it up another notch or two. He will learn pretty quickly that facing teams other than the Phils is a good thing, and he may very well find that out tonight as he goes from throwing to one of the most potent lineups in baseball to one of the most anemic. It also won’t hurt his chances that his own lineup will be facing righthander Mike Pelfrey who, despite having a pretty good season at 15-9 with a 3.84 ERA, has struggled quite a bit in his last two road starts - games which the Mets lost by a combined score of 17-4 - and who also has not fared well in his career against the Marlins, going just 1-6 with an ugly 5.79 ERA in 11 lifetime starts against them. The Mets are just 2-8 in Pelfrey’s last 10 starts vs. the Fish. Take Florida. As always, good luck…Al McMordie.
