A lot of rumors were flying that the Mets may unload Bartolo Colon before the trade deadline, but he is still in a Mets' uniform and gets the ball tonight vs. Philadelphia. Colon has had few problems dealing with the Phillies' attack this season, as he is 2-0 on the season against them with an impressive 1.85 ERA. A.J. Burnett has had a tough go of late, and at 6-11 on the season he my challenge his career high of 15 losses. The Mets have recently done very well when facing a pitcher with a WHIP of greater than 1.3 as they are 5-1 in their last six. Colon has been special when opening a series, where the Mets are 5-0 in his last five series lid lifters. The Phillies are 0-4 in Burnett's last four starts. Make the play on New York.
