It’s rare when you get this deep in the season and find a starter with a 1.22 ERA at home as an underdog. But that’s exactly what we find tonight with RA Dickey and the New York Mets. Dickey has struggled a bit with Florida this season which is really surprising. The Marlins are a free swinging team that relies on the long ball yet they haven’t gone deep against Dickey. We expect Florida to go back to their all or nothing ways tonight as Dickey continues his excellent current form. In his last two starts he’s gone 17.1 innings allowing just two earned runs. He owns a 13 to 2 strikeout to walk ratio during that time. The Mets have won 4 of his last 5 starts. Big name starter Josh Johnson takes the hill for Florida tonight, but he’s regressed badly as of late. After a stellar start to the season Johnson has allowed 18 earned runs in his last five starts. That despite facing the less than formidable offenses of the likes of Pittsburgh, San Diego and San Francisco.
The Mets have won 4 of the last 6 meetings and three straight at Citi Field. Look for the home dog to bite tonight. PLAY NEW YORK
