This just underscores the wisdom to wait to confirm lineups shortly before gametimes.
They trail by 0 - 4 after 5 ip.......
Never would have been a bet.......

1 - 2 today.
But on the flip side, despite my regression, there is some very good news:
I was seriously considering NYY, Giants, Cleveland, Padres, and Blew-it Jays
4 of those 5 were destined to LOSE... but I passed!

It's true that TWINKIES pen has struggled this year, though not too bad the past 3 games.....however the 3 worst overall (home/away combined) for the season so far appear to be
Angels
Cinci
St.Louis
*Note: both Colorado and Sacramento A's have very poor numbers as well but at least part of those would be due to their home venues, not necessarily bad relief pitching there.

At HOME, the Amazing Mets have scored 104 runs across 25 home games for a mean avg of 4.16 rpg
But . . .
they were FORTUNATE to gain 9 runs from extra-innings and
were lucky to gain 6 runs that were UNearned. (2 overlaps)
So if we remove those 13 FORTUNATE extra runs, then instead of a mean of 4.16 rpg (when all that luck is included) their number drops a half-run to 3.64 rpg (when all their luck is hypothetically dismissed) to get what I believe to be a more accurate depiction of their YTD offensive numbers (notwithstanding injuries to key batters)

Will Toronto's best batter be held out of the lineup again today... Hard to say. Maybe, but too early to say definitively until the lineup card is confirmed.

This STARTER is riding a tenuous 11-gameHOT STREAK,
WITHOUT a BAD outing in that streak .....YET!
...but this should be anticipated to end at anytime!!!
Make no mistake, this dude and others I will identify in the future are GOOD starters - some of them exceptional! HOWEVER, probability says "consecutive streaks won't last long" especially AFTER 7 straight w/o a "bad outing"....All GOOD pitchers will, from time to time, have an "off" day and get roughed up - sometimes mauled - before they resume their stellar pitching performances again. CAN NOT be avoided. Best to avoid!
CAVEAT: even if the starter has a "badouting" doesn't mean his team will lose! It just seriously weakens their chances! But his team's bats could come thru with a lot of runs to save the day.....maybe! You decide.
