#908 ASA PLAY ON 8* NY Mets -150 over St Louis Cardinals, Saturday at 4:10 PM ET - We are going with action on pitchers here as we fade a struggling Cardinals team that has lost 6 straight games. We will begin with talking about the expected starting pitchers though our play is action. Kodai Senga takes the mound for NY after coming over from Japan - where he had a very successful career - prior to this season. The 30-year old Senga has been a bright spot for the Mets with 6-3 record and an ERA of 3.34 and a batting average allowed of .205 on the season. He has not allowed more than 3 ER’s in a game since mid May. Menga has a key edge here in that he has not faced a single player on the St Louis roster that has any career at bats vs him. He hasn’t faced the Cards this season and we like Menga to perform very well today as this will be the first ever look this lineup has facing him. Adam Wainwright goes for St Louis today. He’s having a rough season and his ERA is on the rise this season. His ERA is 5.79 on the season. He also has a history of road struggles in his lengthy career. Just about every season it seems Wainwright has uglier numbers on the road. Some of the more recent ones with ugly road numbers include 6.18 ERA in 2016, 7.32 ERA in 2017, 6.22 ERA in 2019, 4-8 record with 4.73 ERA in 2022. The Cards are having a rough season and are dead last in the NL Central. Also, against teams that are from the NL East, their record is 0-4. The Mets, on the other hand, went 54-27 at home last season and are now 71-40 the past two seasons combined in home games. While St Louis has no experience against Senga, NY has players with a combined 139 at bats against Wainwright. We like them to break out offensively this afternoon and New York has scored 39 runs in their last 7 games! The Cards, on the other hand, have lost 13 of 16 games and have averaged scoring 2.9 runs per game in their last 20 games. Home blowout likely here. Lay it!
