the way i look at it--batista is the better pitcher vs trachsel--though hes going up against better hitters in mets lineup. hes been one a no loss streak as of late with 3 straight w'sand 2 NDs before that--only then does he have his last loss. trachsel was early on a good go against--specially a good over bet--though has seemed to find himself somewhat a of late.
normally i would go against batista trying to get a 4th straight W and Ari w/6th straight win in his starts--though i dont wanna go against cisco's chase trend
i believe the under is a better play--least for the 1st 5--as bothe pitchers have thrown overs lately--cept for a 9' total that ariz won --total ended in 9
