Phil Hughes (5-0 2.25) vs Mike Pelfrey (5-1 3.02)

TV: Fox   Radio: WFAN

What to watch: Tonight’s Fox game should be a good pitching match up of a couple of the best young pitchers in baseball this season. Hughes has been great and the Yankees have won six of the seven games he started this season. Pelfrey has also been great and pitched extremely well in his last start in Atlanta going 7.2 innings and only giving up 2 runs. It should be a good one tonight.

Preview: Mets at Braves May 18, 2010

Johan Santana (3-2 3.88) vs Kris Medlen (1-1 2.35)

TV: SNY   Radio: WFAN

What to watch: The Mets go for the sweep behind Santana whose last start was excellent in a 2-1 loss in Florida. He went 7 IP and gave up 1 unearned run. Medlen has been pitching out of the bullpen mostly, only making one start this year. But he’s been pitching really well. I wouldn’t expect him to last long though. The Mets should get into the Braves bullpen pretty quickly.
