It was an effective 6 innings for Moyer in his last start against the Mets at Shea allowing only 2 runs and 4 hits in his second start of the season. Moyer pitches well at the pitchers park at Shea but returns home to the hitter friendly Citizen’s Bank Park where he finished last season with an ERA near 5. SS Jimmy Rollins suffered a sprained ankle earlier in the week and it could affect his mobility and range. Lilly has been pounded this season and sports an ERA of 9.72 after giving up 9 runs in 8 2/3rd’s innings pitched over 2 starts. His fastball did not clock very well in his opening start and was wild in his second start. Both lineups are hitting and play this one OVER 9 ½ runs.
