MLB Odds Tigers vs Mets MLB Picks – June 23rd, 2010: The Detroit Tigers continue their nine game road swing tonight with a game two battle against the Mets in Flushing, New York. This evening's contest is scheduled to get underway at 7:10pm ET at Citi Field; it will be broadcast live on ESPN. MLB Picks at online sportsbook BetUS.com have the Mets listed as a -120 moneyline favorite and the total set at 8.5 with the Under favored at -115 odds.
Detroit felt the sting of the red hot Mets last night as New York jumped all over the Tigers for a 14-6 game one victory. The
Mets wasted no time putting runs on the board, tagging Detroit ace Justin Verlander for five hits and five earned runs before a rain delay forced him out after two innings.
Center fielder Angel Pagan was the biggest standout performer on a night which featured many for the home team. Pagan was a homer shy of the cycle on a 4-for-6, four RBI, three run night.
The high scoring route improved New York's record to 40-30 overall (25-10 Citi Field) and left them a game and a half back of the first place Braves in the National League East.
The Tigers, which have won eight of their last 10 games, dropped to 38-31 with the loss. Detroit, like New York, finds itself 1.5 games behind the division leader as the Twins sit atop the standings in the AL Central with a 40-30 record.
Tonight's starting pitchers are Jeremy Bonderman for the Tigers and R.A. Dickey for the Mets. Bonderman enters tonight's game with a 3-4 record and 4.06 ERA in 12 starts. He has been highly effective in his last two appearances, both of which resulted in Detroit wins, giving up 11 hits and four earned runs while striking out 13 in 14 innings pitched.
R.A. Dickey has been excellent for the Mets this year, putting together a 5-0 record in six starts to go along with a 2.82 ERA. The 35 year old veteran has allowed just three earned runs and struck out 15 in his last 13 innings of work.
MLB Picks Betting Trend: The Under is 9-1 in Bonderman's last 10 starts as a road dog with a total between 8.5 and 9 (average total runs scored 6.2)
