Don’t Look Now — New York Mets Riding High On 7-Game Win Streak!

Friday, April 30th, 2010 | MLB, New York Mets, Philadelphia Phillies, Sports | No Comments

Call it one of the biggest surprises during the early part of the 2010 MLB baseball schedule – the New York Mets are in 1st place in the NL East.

The Mets have rose clutch hitting from David Wright and rookie Ike Davis, and stellar pitching from Johan Santana (3-1, 2.08 ERA & 1.12 WHIP) and Mike Pelfrey (4-0, 0.69 ERA & 1.19 WHIP).

The Mets are 11-5 at home at CITI Field, they are 13-9 overall (after starting the season slow by losing 6 out of the first 8 games that they played) and they open up a big 3-game weekend set against the Phillies in Philadelphia tonight.  Jonathan Niese, in his 1st full season as a regular starter, will look to keep up his excellent pitching (0-1, 3.68 ERA & 1.86 WHIP) against Ryan Howard and the Phillies.  This will certainly be a good test for the upstart New York Mets who are looking to dethrone the back-to-back NL pennant Phillies.
