Game of the Day
The Marlins and Mets feature the best matchup of the day. Brad Penny will try to be pretty against the Mets Al Leiter. Both have sub-2.50 ERAs. Penny has been able to covert his ERA into a 6-2 record, while Leiter has only one win to show for his excellent efforts. Leiter has been very effective in his three starts at Shea, allowing only 2 runs in 20 1/3 innings. He's also yet to allow an extra-base hit to a lefty batter this year.
One thing that's been working in Penny's favor is that he's allowing a low number of line drives. 16.7 Percent of his balls in plays have been labled liners, vs. 18.4% for the NL. He appears to be fooling batters, so they're not hitting the ball hard.
Enjoy!
