Pedro Martinez takes to the mound Thursday in his season-opening start, after recovering from a nagging toe injury to try and knock off the Washington Nationals in the final game of the three-game series.
Sporting a 1-1 overall record and a 1-1 mark within the division, the Nationals aim to knock the Mets (1-1 in the division) for a loss.
The roadies are big underdogs here, looking at a big payout if they can win against the 230 line. OVER/UNDER betting opened at 7.5.
Willie Randolph's troops were at home against the Nationals last game and came away with a 9-5 loss, a game that went over 9. Oddsmakers had them as favorites.
One team boasts strikeout pitchers, the other boasts guys who strike out a lot. Sounds like a bad situation for New York, who come in with one of the league's worst strikeout rates, whiffing 8 times per game.
Some trends to consider:
Washington is 5-2-0 OU in its last 7 games away against New York
Washington is 5-2-0 OU in its last 7 games
New York is 5-0-0 SU in its last 5 games after scoring 4 to 6 runs
New York is 5-2-0 OU in its last 7 games at home against Washington
Next up:
Washington at Houston, Friday, April 7
NY Mets home to Florida, Friday, April 7
