(973) Boston Red Sox at (974) New York Mets
LISTED STARTERS
CRAWFORD/ PETERSON
QUICK ANALYSIS
We are going with the Mets here a decent price. The Mets send David Peterson to the hill and after an okay June and July he had a fantastic August. He sported a 1.86 ERA over 6 starts. Now he will help the Mets keep the ball rolling as they fight for a playoff spot. The Mets have won 5 straight and it is the time of year they need to have a large win streak. The Red Sox send Kutter Crawford to the hill and he can be any type. The problem with Kutter is the year is starting to get long. He had a solid July but has struggled down the stretch in August. He had a 6.32 ERA in 6 starts and it looks like all the extra pitching has caught up to Kutter. He has already thrown 155 innings and that is already 26 more innings than last season. We will look for these two pitchers to head in their same directions in their first September starts and for the Mets to get this win. The Red Sox have lost 4 of their last 5 games which also helps us in this one.
