Padres hope to improve to 8-9 with win
Coming off a 2-1 loss last time out, New York can redeem themselves and get back on the winning track Saturday at San Diego.
The Mets start Pedro Martinez, 3-0, 3.66 ERA. His last trip was a win, a 4-3 team win against the Braves, when he threw 6 2/3 innings, allowing 3 runs on 6 hits.
Sporting an 11-5 overall record and an 8-3 mark within the division, the Mets aim to knock the Padres (3-5 in the division) for a loss.
If Vegas oddsmakers have this game pegged right, it should be a low-scoring affair. The total opened at 7, while the Mets opened as 155 chalk to win the game. San Diego is 7-9, while the Mets are 11-5
After losing their last game, Willie Randolph's team looks to bounce back with a solid showing on the road Saturday. They were favorites in that game, which went under the total of 8.
New York hitters had better be ready today, as the Padres staff boasts one of the best strikeout ratios in the league, fanning 7.4 per game.
