Wednesday's Marquee Matchup

[Wise and Wiser]

ARIZONA +135
METS -150

Brandon Webb (8-0, 2.18) squares off against Pedro Martinez (5-1, 2.79) in Queens tonight. Who you got in this one? Make a pick on this game up until 7:00 EST. I will post the final poll results at that time. Yankees/Tigers was a close second today. I'm going with the Mets. Pedro seems to rise to the occasion in these situations.

New York Mets -148

Mets off a loss with Pedro at home, have to take them at this price...

ZZZZZZZZZZZZZona

Everything points to Mets and Pedro.. My heart says Mets.. but my brain keeps reminding me that Pedro fell last week and hurt his hip. He has been doing nothing but resting it since and sitting very gingerly.

 

[Destructor D]

Why go against the undefeated hot pitcher as a sizable Underdog?

 

[ScreaminPain]

Pedro is 1.80 ERA lifetime against 'zona....Mets bully has better ERA and Batting avg against.... AND Mets are at home (17-9)....

I think this one will be decided by the bullpens. I give a slight edge to the Mets

That being said, with a gun to my head, I'll take the Mets, otherwise I'm looking elsewhere.

The Mets are 1-5 in Martinez's last 6 starts as a home favorite of -110 to -150 and he is not in good current form IMHO so I would have to go with Arizona on this one, tough game to call though.

az batting just shy of .300 vs rhs in their last 10.
hard to argue against an 8-0 pitcher as a dog of 30ish cents.

az.

 

[Hucklebuck]

Give me Webb as a dog any day of the week.

 

[Mr. Poon]

Tough call but I have to go with the DBacks here.

 

[ALLAN]

zona will let pedro feel their bats- ZONA big pick
