Pre-game Intro

Coming up tonight is the first of 3 between the Mets and the Western Division-leading Diamondbacks. Tonight's matchup is Micah Owings (4-0) against John Maine (2-2). The pitching differential, however, is a lot closer than it looks. Maine's 3.58 ERA is practically equivalent to Owings' 3.48. Owings also has a better walks-to-strikeouts ratio, but overall, they're reasonable equal.

On the hitting side, however, the difference between these two pitchers is real. This year, Maine is hitting below his stellar .077 career average, while Owings is hitting a ridiculous .421.

Let's go METS!
