I'm expecting a solid start out of Santanna here today to try keep the Mets from being swepts. Lets not kid ourselves as bad as the Mets offense has been the Phillies have not been that much better. The Mets are 4-0 in Santanna's last 4 starts vs. the Phillies, but what is weird to me is how the line has exploded in the other direction from the Mets -112 at open to -111 Phillies. What does this mean? It means that Blanton should throw a solid game here against the Mets.

The Mets offense is just pitiful right now to say the least they are hitting .196 last 10 vs. RHP and scoring 2.60R/9 over that period. Their bright spot has been their bullpen 1.47ERA last 5. The Under 6-1 in the L7 times Santanna pitches following a loss. He's their iron horse. The Phillies are under 10-2 in their last 12 games vs. a team with a losing record. Their bullpen has been solid of late 3.68ERA. I was tempted to take the Phillies here today, but I'll settle with the under.

Take Under 8.5 runs +105
