The Mets'losing woes show no sign of abating while they suffered a
9-5 defeat to the New York Yankees on Wednesday. It absolutely was another
disappointing setback for the Mets who have now lost six of these last eight
games. With the loss, the Mets dropped to 55-52 in the NL East standings.
They're now two games behind the St. Louis Cardinals in the race for the 2nd and
final wild card spot in the National League.
Pitching has been the main problem for the Mets lately, with New
York allowing a massive 40 runs over their last eight games. The onus then is on
Bartolo Colon (9-6, 3.58 ERA) to supply a solid start for the Mets tonight. The
43-year-old veteran struggled mightily in his last outing against the Colorado
Rockies, surrendering five runs on seven hits and a walk in only five innings of
action.
Line: New York Mets (+128) at New York Yankees (-138);

The Yankees on one other hand, will counter with Nathan Eovaldi
(9-7, 4.78 ERA). He gave up three earned runs on three hits and two walks over
six innings in Saturday's 6-3 loss to the Tampa Bay Rays. Eovaldi has
surrendered just six runs over his last six starts after allowing 31 runs within
the six outings prior to that.
The Yankees are 3-1 in their last four home games against the Mets.
Play the NY Yankees tonight.
