New York Mets at Pittsburgh Pirates
Suggestion: New York Mets (5 Innings) (-102)

I'm grabbing Johan Santana against a team that he has pitched well against over the years (35 innings, 8 runs, 31 strikeouts, 4 walks). Since getting shelled for 4 runs in 1.1 innings on April 17, he has put up five quality starts for the Mets. Erik Bedard was roughed up at Washington last week, giving up 4 runs and 3 HR over six innings of work. We'll leave the Mets overworked and outmanned bullpen out of the equation tonight, and captialize on betting on the stronger of the two starting pitchers. Invest in the New York Mets (5 Innnings) (-102)
