Month: October 2022

The New York Mets can still win the NL East but they will have to take care of business in Queens tonight against the inept Washington Nationals. Tonight’s expected starters are Carlos Carrasco for the Mets and Cory Abbott for the Nats. Carrasco is 15-7 with a 3.95 ERA and a 1.32 WHIP. Abbott is 0-4 with an ERA of 5.11 and a 1.36 WHIP. The Mets are 7-3 in their last 10 against the Nationals and should light up Abbott like a Christmas tree.
TONIGHT’S PICK: NEW YORK METS

The Atlanta Braves have a one game lead over the New York Mets for the top spot in the NL East and will go for a 3-game sweep over their archrival tonight at Truist Park. But not so fast. New York will send Chris Bassitt to the hill and Atlanta with start Charlie “The Curve Ball” Morton. Morton is 9-6 with a 4.29 ERA and a 1.20 WHIP. Bassitt is 15-8 with a 3.27 ERA and a 1.13 WHIP. Plus, the Mets are 5-0 in his last 5 in the third game of a series and they are 8-2 in their last 10 Sunday games.

The New York Yankees will play an early one today with the Baltimore Orioles in the Bronx. Today is the 61st anniversary when Roger Maris hit his 61st homer to pass the Babe so the stars are aligned for Aaron Judge to hit his 62nd at The Stadium. The expected starters are nasty lefty Nestor Cortés Jr. for the Yankees and Austin Voth for the Orioles. Cortés is 11-4 with a 2.56 ERA and a nasty 0.95 ERA. Voth has great numbers, at 5-3, with a 2.77 ERA and a 1.19 WHIP. The Orioles have struggled against left-handed starters, going 0-4 in their last 4, and Yankee Stadium will be electric.
