NY METS - 1B TODD ZEILE, SS RAY ORDONEZ, 2B EDGARDO ALFONZO ARE NOT EXPECTED TO BE IN THE STARTING LINEUP.

Could possibly effect defense, should not hurt offensivly , possibly they might be better off.

I'm looking at wagerline and they report:
Piazza, Zeile and Alfonzo not expected to play.
Mets -170 O/U 8

Yeah, I can't decided if that matters all that much, Mets have been playing good ball as of late and I think I might still have to go with them with Leiter on the mound....one thing to consider is the heat hear in NY, it will be feeling like 105-110 degrees during this game with the humidity.....this takes a lot out of guys when they are playing for nothing.....
