Ok its just 3 games but a week ago the Mets were 4-8 and everyone wanted Manager Jerry's head. Now the Mets, winners 5 of there last 6 and holding on to a 3 game winning streak, go into tonight's game with the chance to go over .500 for the first time in 2010.
Now not sure if the game will get played but if it does Pelfrey takes the mound. Now the Braves have there own issues of late. There 25 in the league in hitting, with a team batting average of .227 while the Mets are at .230.
What has changed over the last 7 days for the Mets. Well playing 2 teams that are floundering surely helped there confidence. The fact they have scored 29 runs averaging a little of 4 runs per game has helped. bay and Davis are hitting .350 over the last week and even Reyes has been hitting over .300 in that time span. In contrast the braves have scored 14 runs in there last 6 games.
In the last 7 games the Mets are 5-2 with a ERA of just 2.61 as a staff. They have given up 58 hits in 62 innings but there walks lead the league and had 36 walks in there last 7 games which is meaning there averaging a dreadful 5 walks per game!
Of course the Mets have the Manny less Dodgers coming in starting on Monday. The Dodgers took off from where they were last year and are hitting .271. So Bay, who has not been striking out the last couple of games needs to keep hitting .
