Game 957.
4:10 PM PST/7:10 PM EST
My friends, New York has won 98 games and they sat atop the NL East for most of this regular season. But yet, now that it’s crunch time, guess what my friends? They are folding like a Kmart suit. They desperately need wins right now. However, they have dropped six of their last nine. And getting swept by the Braves in the last series just might be the straw that broke the camel’s back. Guys let’s face it, if this team had any heart, they would’ve made more than one trip to the Fall Classic over the last decade. And perhaps would’ve tallied at least one World Series title. Now, today to make them above a three-dollar favorite, even if it’s against the division doormat Washington Nationals, is a huge mistake. The Nationals are done we all know that. They are playing for nothing. Nothing except possibly being a spoiler to a team that has had their way with them for quite a while now. Last month alone they took two of three against New York. But prior to that, the Mets had their way with the Nationals. There is no questioning that, my friends. Abbott and Carrasco are scheduled today. Abbot is a far cry from a solid starter. On the campaign he is 0-4 with 5.11 ERA. And he gives up a lot of runs, as the team has lost 10 of his last 11 turns. But who the heck is Carrasco to be laying this much wood as a starter? He just got shelled by Miami in his last outing for four runs in just three innings. Prior to that two of his previous four outings were nightmares as he couldn’t even make it past the second inning. Over his last three turns, he has an ERA of 5.54. Granted yes, the Mets are a better team on paper. But baseball isn’t played on paper. It is played on the diamond. And right now, New York is not playing great baseball. And to make them above a three-dollar favorite is a huge mistake. But it is a benefit to us because it offers us great value. The Mets are 0-4 the last four versus right-handed starters and 1-4 the last five versus division opponents. I’m taking the National here today. Thank you.
