Games of the Day

Kevin Slowey makes the second start of his career after a fine first outing against the Oakland Athletics. He'll take on the LAnaheim Angels and John Lackey. Slowey allowed just five hits in his first start, and only one with runners in scoring position in nine at bats. Lackey tries to become the first ten-game winner in the majors. He's recorded a decision in all twelve games he's started. John's posting the lowest OBA and slugging percentages of his career in 2007.

Is it just me? If I were Charlie Manuel, I'd find a way to avoid throwing Adam Eaton against the Mets. Move Hamels and Garcia up a day? Anyway, Mets most likely get to see their offense go wild today.

I'm still waiting for Matt Morris to revert to form. He's been lucky this year given his strikeout rate to hold such a low ERA. He'll take on the Diamondbacks and Brandon Webb. The defending Cy Young award winner is off to a good start in June, holding the Mets to one unearned run in eight innings his last time out.

Enjoy!

Adam Eaton has a career 1.65 ERA, 21 K, and only 17 H in 27.1 IP in four starts against the Mets (including a fine start earlier this year). Sure, Mets fans would rather face him than Hamels, but I wouldn't be too optimistic about the recently anemic Mets offense tonight.

Matt Morris and Jason Marquis have eerily similar stat lines so far this year...I'm a big Matty Mo fan, so I hope he proves you very wrong.

Tough loss for Matt Morris...
