Adding Phila/Mets over 9 (-125)
Adding Phila/Mets over 9 (-125)
This bet just seems logical to me. Eaton is shaky at best, phils bullpen is beyond suspect at this point. They downright suck. Perez ain't afraid to give up runs either, although he looked good his 1st time out this year. Throw in the fact that Phils need a win desperately and I think we hit the number in this game.
from the interweb:
VENUE: Shea Stadium
Eaton went 7-4 with a 5.12 ERA in just 13 starts for the Rangers last season after spending time on the disabled list following right finger surgery. He won five of his last six outings in 2006, but got off to a rough start this season.
Eaton allowed seven hits and eight runs while walking four in 4 2-3 innings as Philadelphia lost 8-4 to Atlanta on Thursday, part of the Phillies' 1-6 start.
Eaton (0-1, 13.50 ERA), though, has won all three of his starts against the Mets, posting a 1.33 ERA in those outings.
"He threw strikes and he was pounding the zone," manager Willie Randolph said of Perez, who went 3-13 with a 6.58 ERA last year with Pittsburgh and the Mets. "He was pretty dominant."
Perez is 1-1 with a 4.60 ERA in five starts against the Phillies. He didn't get a decision in his last outing versus Philadelphia, allowing five runs, two hits and five walks while striking out seven in five innings of New York' 11-5 win on Aug. 26 at Shea Stadium.
Pat Burrell is 4-for-12 with three homers and five RBIs against Perez. Burrell is hitting just .257 versus New York in his career, but has 36 homers and 92 RBIs in 118 games.
Reigning NL MVP Ryan Howard homered for the first time this season on Monday. He is 1-for-4 with a homer and five RBIs against Perez.
