Let's play two!

As stated earlier, the Mets have a day-night double header going today. Let's take a looksie at the first game:

The Mets ace Johan Santana (4-2) will face San Diego's Mat Latos (5-4). Both pitcher's are coming in pitching particularly well in the last 5 games pitched. Latos is sporting a 2.25 ERA in that span, and Johan has an astounding 0.74 ERA in the same span. However, he only has one win over that span, because the Mets have scored 4 runs in the 4 other games he's pitched.

Personally, I would like to see the Mets bats put this one away early, and give Santana some room to work. Nobody's worked harder than him and the Mets need to reward him. Johan is a class act, and would never complain, but if this low run support keeps up, expect some grumblings. That being said, Latos is pitching lights out ball right now, so once again, Johan is in a matchup that's not very favorable. Game time is 1:10 EST
