This series has had a pretty surprising start, but it may not change today. Both teams send pitchers they rely on, but the problem for the Mets is that their bats have gone cold. New York is just 1-6 in Colon’s last 7 Saturday starts and 2-5 in his last 7 starts against a losing team. The Padres come in having won 5 of their last 6 against a right-handed starter. It may be worth putting your money on the home team again tonight.
