METS (With Santana and Pettitte as listed pitchers)
Let?s try this again.
Take the Mets for the road win over the Yankees.
The Yankees are faltering. Big time.
Their once potent lineup has been decimated by injuries and they are struggling to score runs. That doesn?t bode well going into tonight?s game with Johan Santana taking the mound.
The left-hander has settled down after a bit of a rocky start to the season. He?s 4-2 with a 3.10 ERA in eight games. Santana has been good against the Yankees in his career too, going 3-0 with a 2.66 ERA in five games.
Santana is 16-4 with a 2.27 ERA in 35 interleague appearances, including 24 starts.
Since the Yankees don?t have the same potent lineup right now that Santana is used to facing, he should be able to hold them in check.
The Yankees have lost six of nine and managed just six runs in their four game series against the Rays.
Andy Pettitte will get the start today and the Yankees have lost each of his last four starts.
Take the Mets as they grab the road win.

RAYS (With Garza as listed pitcher)
Take the Rays as the small road dog for the win this afternoon over the Cardinals.
Tampa Bay has won eight of its last nine games, outscoring the opposition 38-15.
Pitching has been the big reason for their streak, as the Rays? starters have posted a 1.16 ERA over the last 10 games.
Matt Garza will get the start today and he?s 2-1 with a 2.19 ERA in his last four starts.
The Cardinals will start Adam Wainwright, who is coming off his first loss in six starts when he allowed eight runs and three homeruns in six innings of Monday?s 8-3 loss at Milwaukee.
Take the Rays as they grab the road win.
TWINS (With Hernandez as listed pitcher)
Take the Twins for the road win tonight over the Rockies.
Minnesota will start Livan Hernandez, and all he?s done is go 6-1 with a 3.90 ERA in trying to stabilize a rotation that lost Johan Santana to the Mets in free agency.
Hernandez has been even better over his last three starts, going 3-0 with a 2.05 ERA.
The Rockies will counter with rookie Greg Reynolds, who is making just his second major league start. He debuted on Sunday against San Diego and allowed four runs and six hits in 5 2-3 innings of a 6-1 loss to San Diego. The right-hander also allowed two home runs in that game.
Take the Twins as they grab the road win.
