The Mets begin their second cross-country trip in two weeks as they visit the Angels on Monday night. They lost 4 of 6 in dropping 4 games to good pitching staffs of the Giants and Padres. Now they face another good pitching staff in the Angels. Mike Pelfrey has put together 3 straight quality starts giving up just 4 earned runs in 21 innings of work. Despite the great numbers Pelfrey got no decisions in each game getting miserable run support. The Angels live with the great starting and bullpen work this season as their scoring offense sits near the bottom of Major League Baseball. Weaver is coming off a nice effort against Tampa giving up 1 earned run and 4 hits over 8 innings of work. Play this one under 8 runs.
