10* Mets (IL GOW)

The Orioles are tied atop the AL East with the Yanks and can ill afford to take the foot off the gas, but we still definitely feel that this one favors the hungrier and more desperate home side. New York sits two games back of Atlanta for the final Wild card. Baltimore lost two of three at Boston, but won the final 4-2 yesterday. After this the Orioles face the Astros and Dodgers, while the Mets face the Padres and D-Backs. The road ahead is a tough one for both, but this starting pitching matchup for sure favors the home side, with the unremarkable Trevor Rogers (2-11, 4.89 ERA) going for the visitors and the rock-steady David Peterson (7-1, 3.04) countering for New York. Rogers was shelled for five runs in his last outing, while Peterson went six scoreless; the play is New York!
