Friday's Free Selection- Marlins vs. Mets

[Pick Bot]

***NOTE.... Updated @ 4:00pm et- Hanley Ramirez will miss tonight's game!

There is no fooling how well the Mets have hit LHP this year. In fact they lead the league with a .337 average and 7.73 RC/27outs. They will face rookie Sean West who was recalled from AA when the Marlins sent down Nolasco. He pitched 5IP of shutout ball vs. the Rays in his debut. The Rays hitting just .284 vs. LHP left 5 runners in scoring position against West. In my opinion the juice will be out of the arm of West as he'll now make his second MLB start.

On the mound for the Mets is Mike Pelfrey. I absolutely love backing him here. He pitched extremely well against the Red Sox and now has a 2.70 ear in 20IP with a 1.1whip in his last 3 starts. People were all over this guy early on as a 1 year wonder, but I knew he would come back strong in May. He is a sinker ball pitcher. Sinker ball pitchers always struggle early in the year. Now that he has the movement on his pitches he is primed to go on a nice run here. Pelfrey has struggled against the Marlins in the past, but his last 2 starts were good enough to get a win in my opinion 6.2IP 2ER, and 6IP 3ER. If he pitches the same way here today the Mets will win this game with their bullpen.

Florida hitting just 3.58 Runs/9 in their last 5 vs. RHP.
