TV: CW11 Radio: WFAN
What to watch: Santana will go on three days rest in what could be a do-or-die game for the Mets. The Marlins have said they look forward to taking the Mets out of the playoff race, and appear to be doing the job in the first game of the series.

Florida Marlins (82-76 Road: 37-40) at New York Mets (88-71 Home: 47-31) 7:10pm
Chris Volstad (5-4 3.10) vs. Mike Pelfrey (13-10 3.70)
What to watch: The Mets and Marlins start a three game series if the weather cooperates. This gives the chance for the Mets to get some payback for the Marlins ending their season in the last series of the year in 2007. Volstad has pitched really well since coming up so this won’t be an easy task.

Chicago Cubs (96-61 Road: 41-35) at New York Mets (87-71 Home: 46-31) 7:10pm
Rich Harden (5-1 1.66) vs. Pedro Martinez (5-6 5.50)
What to watch: This couldn’t be more of a critical game. The weather report is iffy and both teams really don’t want to see a postponement. Pedro has to be better than we’ve seen him lately to beat Harden.

Chicago Cubs (95-61 Road: 40-35) at New York Mets (87-70 Home: 46-30) 7:10pm
Carlos Zambrano (14-6 3.77) vs. Oliver Perez (10-7 4.10)
What to watch: The Mets may run into a buzz saw tonight going up against Zambrano. He’s a big-time star in baseball, but got smoked in his last start for eight runs in less than two innings. Let’s hope he’s still having trouble tonight.

Chicago Cubs (95-60 Road: 40-34) at New York Mets (86-70 Home: 45-30) 7:10pm
Sean Marshall (3-4 3.62) vs. Johan Santana (14-7 2.65)
What to watch: It’s getting down to do-or-die time for the Mets and they’ve got the right guy on the mound tonight. The Cubs switched up their starters in preparation for the playoffs so Marshall gets the start instead of Ted Lilly.

Chicago Cubs (94-60 Road: 39-34) at New York Mets (86-69 Home: 45-29)
Jason Marquis (10-9 4.39) vs. Jon Niese (1-0 4.09)
What to watch: The Mets are desperate for wins as they start a four game series at home with the Cubs. Niese is coming off eight shutout innings in his last start against Atlanta. Marquis has been up and down for the Cubs this season. The Cubs have already clinched the NL Central so they’ll be playing not to get anybody hurt before the playoffs.

TV: CW11 Radio: WFAN
