The New York Mets will aim to bounce back from an ugly Friday loss to their division rivals in the Philadelphia Phillies. The loss marked their seventh straight on the season, and now puts them in second place in the NL East division. Look for that to spark the Mets to turn things around against rookie Mick Abel. Take the Mets.
Mick Abel is getting pounded more each starts and I have long maintained he is a pen arm. Will need a quick hook. Mets are 10-4 with Griffin Canning on the bump and they have transformed him into a very effective starter. Will be playing Mets on he first 5 as well as those markets populate.
