Result: Loss
Play: Over
Rating: 8*

The New York Mets have scored plenty of runs lately while winning five of their past six games. They defeated the Miami Marlins 7-4 last night, and this total looks pretty low considering the pitching matchup.

Bartolo Colon (12-7, 3.44) takes the ball for the Mets. He gave up four runs over seven innings of a 9-4 win against the Phillies his last time out. The burly veteran proved that he's a threat offensively as he added two hits and two runs scored.

The Marlins turn to David Phelps (7-6, 2.52 ERA) who is 1-4 with a 7.00 ERA in 11 games – five starts. against the Mets. He was tagged with four runs (three earned) on a pair of hits in 3 2/3 innings his last start.

Over is 12-3 in Mets last 15 overall and we have an umpire favoring the over in Paul Emmel; Over is 7-2-1 in Emmel's last 10 games behind home plate. We can also add a couple of taxed bullpens for both teams and neither starting pitcher have been able to log a lot of innings lately.
