At 7:05pm our complimentary selection is on the Philadelphia Phillies over the New York Mets. 16-year Major League veteran Chan Ho Park must be thrilled to be part of the World Champion Phillies rotation this season. After toiling with four different Major League teams over the last four years, Park is now contributing as the fourth or fifth starter on a team that has plenty of firepower. Speaking of firepower, in his last start, Park helped his own cause by hitting a home run and although he took a no-decision in that game on April 25th in south Florida, the Phillies beat the Marlins, marking the third straight start for Park in which his team got the win. Also encouraging is the fact that Park has gotten noticeably better and better in each of his three starts this season. This is seemingly another great opportunity for Park and the Phillies, as the Mets will send Mike Pelfrey to the mound and although the big (6 foot, 7 inch) righthander is 2-0, he has been anything but impressive this season with a 6.32 ERA and a very troubling nine walks with only six strikeouts in less than 16 innings. Pelfrey faced the Phillies three times in 2008, with the Mets losing two of the three games and in this game they will have to deal with the probable loss of two of their offensive starters in first baseman Carlos Delgado and second baseman Luis Castillo. There is a chance that Delgado will play despite his sore hip, but he will likely not be close to 100%. Take the Phils. As always, good luck...Al McMordie.
Al McMordie was 2-1 here Thursday, including Winners on the Houston Rockets and the Over in the KC/Toronto game. For the season, Big Al's a PERFECT 6-0 on his MLB "Totals of the Month," and on Friday, Al's FIRING on another BIG PLAY: It's Big Al's Baseball Division Total of the Month, and it's backed by 30-8 Winning Angles. Get on it. |
