Result: Loss
This is a 10* GAME OF THE MONTH on the New York Mets.

We base our MLB selections on starting pitching and situations and in this case we feel we're getting awesome line value on the home side when we take into account each of these hurler's recent performance. The visitors hand the ball to the ever volatile Charlie Morton (7-4, 4.48 ERA) who was fortunate to earn a no-decision after getting shelled for five runs off ten hits over five innings vs. the Dodgers on Sunday. Morton has regressed as the season has progressed, note that he's given up at least three runs in seven of his last nine starts and unfortunately a date on the road is not what the doctor ordered to get untracked as he owns a poor 5.92 ERA away from friendly confines. Jonathon Niese (7-9, 3.46 ERA) is trending in the opposite direction, most recently he'd give up two runs off six hits over seven innings with no walks and five K's in a victory over the Rockies on Monday. The big southpaw has now given up just four runs over 20 innings in his last three starts and owns a respectable 3.24 ERA in all "night" games this season. "Momentum" is a very real thing and recent performance is a fantastic indicator when judging a pitcher from game-to-game, so when you add it all up, there's no question that Niese and the METROPOLITANS are the savvy move in this contest.
