Preview: Mets at Phillies May 1, 2010

New York Mets (14-9)  at Philadelphia Phillies (12-10) 3:10 pm

Mike Pelfrey (4-0 0.69) vs. Roy Halladay (4-1 1.80)

TV: Fox   Radio: WFAN

What to watch: The Mets are going for their ninth straight win today in Philly. But they’re up against, possibly, the best pitcher in baseball. As great as Halladay is, he took a loss in his last start in San Francisco after giving up 5 ER in 7.0 IP. Pelfrey, on the other hand, has been incredible and hasn’t given up a run in his last three starts. I’ll be surprised in Jeff Francoeur plays today after getting hit by a pitch on his left elbow.

The first place Mets are in Philly through Sunday.

Preview: Dodgers at Mets April 28, 2010

Los Angeles Dodgers (8-12) at New York Mets (12-9)  1:10 pm

Josh Towers (0-0 -.–) vs. John Maine (0-1 8.64)

TV: SNY   Radio: WFAN

What to watch: The Mets are going for the sweep today against the Dodgers. If successful, it’ll be their second consecutive series sweep. The Dodgers are throwing Towers out there who’s only started 27 games in the last three years between the Yankees and Blue Jays. Maine left his last start after 3.2 IP when he felt pain in his left arm. He really hasn’t pitched well at all this season and could be on the brink of losing his spot in the rotation if he has another poor start.

Game 2: Charlie Haeger (0-2 6.46) vs. Oliver Perez (0-2 3.71)

TV: SNY   Radio: WFAN

What to watch: The Mets and Dodgers play a single admission double header today. It’s a good day to cut out of work early to see Santana in the first game. He’s only given up 1 ER in his last 13.1 IP and the Mets have won three of the four games he started this season. You never know what to expect from Perez. Although he’s only given up 3 ER in his last 11.1 IP.

Preview: Braves at Mets April 25, 2010

Tommy Hanson (1-1 2.81) vs. Mike Pelfrey (3-0 0.86)

TV: ESPN   Radio: WFAN

What to watch: The Mets attempt to put the hammer down on the Braves tonight on national TV and go for the sweep. Pelfrey has been unbelievable this season with 3 wins and 1 save in the four games he’s appeared in. The word is that Henry Blanco will be catching Pelfrey again, even though he started yesterday’s game. Hanson has pitched pretty well so far this season. The Braves won two of three games that he started.
