The Mets and Dodgers meet in a Wednesday afternoon game at Dodgers Stadium. Lefthanders have given Brad Penny problems this season as they are hitting .317 against the Dodgers ace. The Mets have given Penny problems in the past as they hit .284 as a team against him. The Mets sport a talented left handed hitting lineup and even right-handed hitter David Wright has had success against Penny. The Met’s third baseman bats .643 lifetime against Penny with 2 homers. John Maine has pitched well for the Mets as he has given up 2 earned runs or less in his last 5 starts. In his last start Maine pitched 6 innings and gave up only 2 earned runs against the talented Arizona Diamondback lineup. With Penny struggling against lefties and Maine’s string of quality starts the Mets are good underdog play in this spot. Take the Mets at +125.
