orioles-logoNew York Mets (33-29 Road: 15-18)  at Baltimore Orioles (27-37 Home: 19-17) 7:05 pm

Tim Redding (0-2 6.18) vs. Koji Uehara (2-4 4.37)

TV: SNY  Radio:  WFAN

What to watch: The Mets got a gift of a game last night due to 3 Baltimore errors. The Mets look to take another one tonight with Uehara on the mound. The Orioles have lost 7 of the last 8 games that he’s started. Redding has pitched pretty well in his last 2 starts for the Mets and looks to keep that trend alive tonight.

orioles-logoNew York Mets (32-29 Road: 14-18)  at Baltimore Orioles (27-36 Home: 19-16) 7:05 pm

Mike Pelfrey (4-2 4.68) vs. Jeremy Guthrie (4-6 5.52)

TV: SNY  Radio:  WFAN

What to watch: The Orioles are in last place in the AL East and have lost 3 of their last 5 games. Guthrie has been up and down, with more down than up recently. The O’s have lost the last three games that Guthrie started. Pelfrey pitched pretty well in his last start against the Phillies. But he was victimized by a David Wright error that allowed 2 unearned runs to score on him.

Game Preview: Mets at Yankees [Game 61] June 14, 2009

Yankees LogoNew York Mets (32-28 Road: 14-17)  at New York Yankees (35-27 Home: 19-12) 1:05 pm

Johan Santana (8-3 2.39) vs. A.J. Burnett (4-3 4.89)

TV: WPIX, YES  Radio:  WFAN

What to watch: The Mets and Yankees play the rubber game of the series today and you have to give the edge to the Mets in the final game with Santana. Burnett got rocked for 5 runs in 2.2 innings in his last start in Boston. So far, he’s been somewhat of a disappointment since signing with the Yankees as a free agent. Santana has been on a bit of a down-tick for him lately as well. He’s allowed at least 3 earned runs in his last five starts. I have a feeling that he’s going to turn up the intensity for the Yankees today though.

Fernando Nieve (0-0 0.00) vs. Andy Pettite (6-2 4.22)

TV: FOX  Radio:  WFAN

What to watch: The Mets need to pick themselves up after their brutal loss yesterday. That’s probably easier said than done. Nieve is making his first start since he was with the Astros in 2006. Pettite’s been pitching okay this season. The Yankees have won 5 of the last 6 games that he’s started. The real story here will be to see if the Mets fold after yesterday’s loss.

Game Preview: Mets at Yankees [Game 59] June 12, 2009

Yankees LogoNew York Mets (31-27 Road: 13-16)  at New York Yankees (34-26 Home: 18-11) 7:05 pm

Livan Hernandez (5-1 3.88) vs. Joba Chamberlain (3-1 3.79)

TV: SNY, YES  Radio:  WFAN

What to watch: The Yankees just got swept in Boston but they’ve won 5 of Chamberlain’s last 6 starts. He’s been pitching very well. Speaking of pitching well, Hernandez has been doing an incredibly good job for the Mets much to my surprise. He’s gone at least 7 innings in 3 of his last 4 starts. Both teams have been scuffling along this season but the Mets are so injury depleted that it’s hard to see them taking this series in the Bronx.

Game Preview: Phillies at Mets [Game 58] June 11, 2009

phillies logoPhiladelphia Phillies (34-23 Road: 22-9) at New York Mets (31-26 Home: 18-10)  7:10 pm

Jamie Moyer (4-5 6.27) vs. Tim Redding (0-2 6.97)

TV: SNY  Radio:  WFAN

What to watch: The rubber game of the series is an important one for the Mets to win at home. The Phillies have lost 5 of the last 6 games that Moyer has started, although he’s recovered a bit from his early seasons struggles. The Mets have lost 3 of the 4 games that Redding started this season. But his last start in Washington was good (6 IP, 1 ER).

Game Preview: Phillies at Mets [Game 57] June 10, 2009

phillies-logoPhiladelphia Phillies (33-23 Road: 21-9) at New York Mets (31-25 Home: 18-9)  7:10 pm

Cole Hamels (4-2 4.40) vs. Mike Pelfrey (4-2 4.85)

TV: SNY  Radio:  WFAN

What to watch: Hamels is coming off a complete game shutout in his last start. While Pelfrey is coming off the worst start of his career. The Phils haven’t lost a game started by Hamels since May 14. The Mets have won 2 of Pelfrey’s last 4 starts. On paper, this one appears to favor the Phils but they still have to play the game.
