NY Mets @ Philadelphia Phillies Monday Baseball Preview
  • 16 years ago
gamblerstelevision.com Pedro Martinez has been rocked over his last 3 starts giving up 17 earned runs 22 hits over 15 innings of work. Martinez is becoming discouraged over his performance but he will continue to battle on. He is wondering if he is tipping off his pitches to opposing batters and will work in the film room to find out. Teams are batting .325 against the veteran right-hander this season. Eaton has pitched well over his last 8 starts with only 1 bad outing against the LA Angels mixed in. He has given up more than 3 earned runs in only 1 of his last 8 starts and it was against the Angels. The Phillies bullpen has pitched exceptionally well this season sitting with an ERA under 3 through 85 games. We can get 5 or 6 innings from Eaton we should be OK backing the Phils here with solid relief behind him. Take Philadelphia –130.
