MLB: New York Mets at Florida Marlins - Under 8 (Pelfrey/Johnson) -115
Game Date: 8/26/2009
Note: It is very easy to look at this play and determine that it is not worthy based on the fact that the Mets pitcher has at times this year been the Butt of Jokes all around the Baseball World. His numbers have not been very good and they have been much worse when his team travels. His Road ERA is hovering around the 6.00 mark in this situation and both his Innings/Hits Ratio and his K/BB Ratio are not something to write home about. But Low and Behold, recently he has figured it out. So much so, that in his last 6 games pitched, he has allowed 3 or fewer runs 5 times. All 5 of those games went UNDER the Posted Total and that was due in part to His Pitching, and the Mets Hitting, or lack of it. We all know about the Mets injuries. They just do not have any major firepower in their lineup right now to score many times against any pitcher. Against Johnson, they may not score at all. This guy has been a thorn in their Ass. I think, (Because I did not check) that he is a perfect 6-0 verses the Mets with an ERA right at 2 Runs Per Game. That is also about what he is doing here at home with pretty much the same Earned Run Numbers. The Mets have scored 4 runs or less in 15 of their last 19 games. That includes all throwers, all situations. They will have a Thorn in their Ass tonight and it is not easy to hit a Major League Fastball when your Ass Hurts. These Teams have played UNDER 12 of 15 times. The Mets have played UNDER 5 of their last 6. I think this one has a great chance of not obtaining this number.
