New York at San Diego

What has happened to the Mets this season defies reason. The Mets opened a new stadium with big expectations, and the added strength in the bullpen figured to solve last year's late-game collapses. What they didn't count on was the myriad of injuries to the core of their team, and also one of those pen pieces JJ Putz. It has left them stranded and out of the playoff race with few answers. Then suddenly K-Rod, who was invincible a year ago, is letting games slip away as well. The Mets have even bigger problems as San Diego has become a chamber of horrors for them. The Mets haven't sniffed a win here since 2007, and going back even further, the Padres are 10-2 here vs. the Mets in the last 12 meetings. The Padres are an up and down team, but are up right now as they have won nine of their last 12, while the Mets continue their downward spiral. I'm going with the Padres here.
