This is a 10* FALSE FAVORITE on the Philadelphia Phillies.
For the first time since 1986, the Phillies have dropped their first four games. A date vs. 43 year old Bartolo Colon though is just what the doctor ordered for the visitors, who we believe will chase the veteran early and then find a way to get the job done at the end of the night. The Phillies managed a run and five hits off Mets' starter Jacob DeGrom through six frames of Friday's 7-2 loss. New York was able to pull away with four runs in the seventh vs. reliever Jeff Russell: "We're not the best hitting team in the league, but we're certainly better than we're showing," manager Pete Mackanin assessed of his young club. "We've got to get everybody going. It seems like they're trying too hard." Colon begins his 19th season as a starter after going 1 1/3 scoreless innings of relieft in Sunday's opener at KC. The visitors counter with what we feel to be the suprieror starter today in Vince Velasquez, who was 1-1 with a 4.37 ERA in 19 appearances with Houston last year. Velasquez comes in off a strong spring which he capped off by striking out eight over six scoreless innings vs. a Toronto lineup which featured its biggest hitters. Good news for Velasquez, the top part of the Mets' lineup is struggling right now, with David Wright, Curtis Granderson and Yoenis Cespedes hitting a combined 1.39 with no RBI and 13 K's. We think Father Time finally catches up to Colon this season and that the value is indeed to good to turn down in this spot. Play on the PHILLIES.
