First off, Braves lineup has more success against Santana then the Mets lineup has against Lowe.
Only Mets starter that hits Lowe is David Wright.
Jason Bay (a favorite of mine) is 0 for 15 lifetime against Lowe, and I can see him stranding Wright and others today all afternoon.
Jeff Francouer is .214 lifetime against Lowe.
I can see the whole Mets middle of the lineup pissing off a truckload of Mets fans off this afternoon.
Now the Braves middle of the order, Glaus and Chipper, they hit Mr. Santana the 20 million dollar man well.
Especially Glaus, .346, a couple of dingers, Chipper is at .300 against Santana, and even though he's not hitting his weight this year, Matt Diaz is, get this, 12 for 23 (.522) lifetime against Santana.
McCann is .280.
And even if Johann does pitch well today, you know, you just know the bullpen will muck it up, but the bullpen won't be a factor, Lowe and the Bravos complete the sweep by a score of 5-2.
One more thing, Braves and Cox don't like the Mets, there is no love lost here, Braves would love, absolutly love to stick it to the Metropolitans in their own back yard.
