New York Mets (Niese) at St. Louis Cardinals (Wacha)
This is a game where I’m just avoiding both offenses. The Cardinals, for the season, have been worse against left-handed pitching this year than the Kansas City Royals (let that sink in). The Mets, for the season, have been worse against right-handed pitching than the Seattle Mariners. This is legitimately a game that I could see only having a couple of runs through the first six or seven innings. Either pitcher is fine but for price concerns, I’d lean Niese.
