New York Mets are the form team in baseball at the moment with their hitters smashing home runs easily and their pitching staff doing their job quietly. They have now won eight in a row and will be looking to strengthen their position in their division. Atlanta record this season is just one game below .500 and are doing quite okay but for this match, their 4-1 pitcher will be facing the in-form Santana who has an era of 0.91. Santana looks dominant in all his starts thus far and if he continues pitching the way he is, he might become a 20 game winner in 2009.

Santana have struck out at least 7 batters in all of his six starts thus far and his highest recorded was a stellar 13, which probably suggest that the braves batters are in for a hard time too. As for the braves, their away record of 10-7 looks pretty decent but I do no think they will outsmart Santana and co for this match up duel today.
