MLB: San Francisco Giants at New York Mets - Mets (Cain/Santana) -125
Game Date: 8/15/2009
Note: Before I get ton's of emails about playing the Mets, let me just go ahead and say, "Yes, I know, the Mets Suck." There ya go. Now there is no reason to email. The Giants are in the playoff hunt but they are not because of their road record, which currently stands at 23-33 after the loss last night to a team that sucks. These Mets Suck. And I know that. No emails please. SF has been very poor with hitting these guys that throw with their lefthand as well. They will positively be in their worst hitting posture facing Santana and the last time I checked, this guy that throws for the Mets, (The Team That Sucks) is pretty good. He was damn good in his last start and he has taken a large liking to Citi Field this year, going 8-2 with a 2.07 ERA in 12 starts, including a 3-0 mark and 1.86 ERA in his last four. Let me make this perfectly clear. Johan Santana does not suck. He has had success with these Giants and the visitors might just be in a bad way today as they have won just 7 times over the last 24 played against Southpaw starters. Heck, they even lost recently to Houston's Hampton and if there is a guy that is doing more sucking than him this year, I want to know. With last night's loss the Giants have lost to the Mets 4 of 5 this year and they have never played well against them. The Mets do not have much to play for anymore because they suck, but they do play harder when Santana is on the mound because they like to see the guy win. He does win a lot. I think the Home Team will suck it up today.

San Diego Padres (49-68) at St. Louis Cardinals (65-52)
(R) Tim Stauffer (1-4) vs. (R) Joel Pineiro (10-9)
St. Louis’ will send right-hander Joel Pineiro (10-9, 3.22 ERA) to the hill. Pineiro is 4-0 with a 2.76 ERA in his last seven starts and is 3-1 with a 3.43 ERA lifetime against San Diego. The Padres will counter with right-hander Tim Stauffer (1-4, 2.90), who hopes to prevent his third straight lost. Stauffer allowed seven runs over 3 1/3 innings of an 11-3 loss in his only start against the Cardinals in 2005.
The Cardinals presently have been a tough team to beat at Busch Stadium. St. Louis has won seven straight home games and is 29-8 versus the Padres in St. Louis. Go with the Cardinals tonight with Joel Pineiro at the helm against the lowest scoring team in the league. The Padres have dropped the last five clashes against the Cardinals in St. Louis.
St. Louis Cardinals -230
