Maybe Adam Wainwright is the perfect pitcher for the Mets to face tonight. It’s the perfect matchup of “Something’s got to give”. The Mets haven’t scored in ages, and Wainwright hasn’t given up any runs in ages. It’s mathematically improbable for both of these to continue for another nine innings, and that should bode well for the Mets. Maybe they rise to occasion of fighting a top pitcher, start scoring some runs, and give Johan Santana some help in the July Pitcher of the Month competition.
If we’re getting poetic about it, I’m going to predict that the deciding runs of this game are scored via a grand slam home run by Carlos Beltran off of an Adam Wainwright curveball.
