The New York Mets are #1 in the East because they are loaded with talent and have the best skipper in the bigs, Buck Showalter. Tonight they will host the Cincinnati Reds. The expected starters are Chris Bassitt for the Mets and Justin Dunn for the Reds. Bassitt is 8-7 with a 3.02 ERA and a 1.12 WHIP. Dunn just got called up from AAA and the Mets are licking their chops. New York has won 3 straight, 8 of their last 10, and will not lose tonight at home to an inferior Reds team.
