The Mets now winners of 6 straight send Chris Capuono to the mound who was effective with the exception of giving up 2 HR in his first start vs. the Nationals. I don't see that happening this time around without Zimmerman in the middle of that line up. Right now things are clicking for the Mets and they'll face an old friend in Livan Hernandez who has some distractions with the law and I think he's due for another struggle here vs. the Mets who since Jason Bay has come back have been red hot. It starts with Reyes and Daniel Murphy and the rest of the crew continue to hit. Capuono will face the worst team in the league vs. LHP and that's where I think the Mets can win. They are hitting .182 at home vs. LHP this year. Also Mets are scoring 8+ runs in their last 5 games per 9 innings vs. RHP with a .356 average.
Cards continue to hit they were up big all game and nearly gave it away but held on. Kyle McLellan is another reliever turned starter to dominate. Houston struggles vs. the righties this year but dominate lefties. They face another righty and Figuero gives up hits and puts runners on which is never a good thing facing a hot team like St. Louis that has 3 guys that are starring down 30+HR seasons in Pujols, Holliday and Berkman. Cards role in this one.
