MLB Baseball Betting - Philadelphia Phillies vs. New York Mets

[Shame About Ray]

It’s the final opening day in the history of New York Mets’ baseball at Shea Stadium. Yes, the stadium that has hosted the Mets since 1969 will not longer be their home. Next year the Mets move into Citi Field currently under construction in the Shea Stadium parking lot. BetUS sportsbook believes this is a good thing as it was in Shea Stadium where the Phillies swept the Mets last year to start one of the biggest collapses in the history of baseball. With seventeen games left the Mets were up by 7 games over the Phillies. We all know what happened next - - the Mets ended up losing the division outright to Philadelphia.

It’s too early for us to tell if that might happen again, but this game does provide some drama. The Mets start Oliver Perez who was pretty good in his first outing of the year giving up 5 hits and striking out 8 batters. In that game Perez faced the Florida Marlins. The Mets took no prisoners by racking up 13 runs.
