New York Mets (49-44) at Arizona D-Backs (35-58) 9:40pm

R.A. Dickey (6-3 2.62) vs Barry Enright (1-2 3.45)

TV: SNY   Radio: WFAN

What to watch: The Mets will try to dust themselves off after getting their asses handed to them last night behind Dickey. He pitched a nice game in a loss in San Francisco in his last start going 7 innings and allowing only 1 run. Enright is making his fourth career start and has been okay so far for the D-Backs. He’s right-handed but righties have hit him much better than lefties (.286 to .176) in a limited sample.

New York Mets (45-35) at Washington Nationals (35-46) 4:10 pm

R.A. Dickey (6-1 2.98) vs Stephen Strasburg (2-2 2.27)

TV: FOX   Radio: WFAN

What to watch: This is an odd pitching match-up. I have to admit that I can’t wait to see Strasburg this afternoon. It’s not surprising that Fox picked up this game. The young phenom has been drawing crowds wherever he goes. I bet the TV ratings will be relatively good for a summer afternoon on a holiday weekend. Dickey had his first loss and really bad start against the Marlins on Monday. This is where we’ll start to see if his first six wins were a mirage or not.

Nolasco has lost two of his last three starts and gave up 11 ER during that period. Dickey is coming off throwing 8 shutout innings against the Tigers. Of course, there’s been much speculation about Bobby Valentine taking over the Marlins. It appears now that he won’t be managing the Marlins.
