The New York Mets took a flyer on Bartolo Colon, who turned 41-years-old last month, and at the time it appeared to be a mistake. That opinion is quickly changing as the "Ageless One" has pitched the Mets to five wins in his last six starts. Over his last five starts, Colon has allowed just 7 runs while pitching to an ERA of 1.78. St. Louis has won eight of their last nine games with some outstanding pitching of their own. They have recorded four shutouts, and held eight of the nine opponents to 2 runs or less. The offense has been another story as they have delivered just 38 runs in their last 11 games at just 3.45 runs per contest. The Cardinals are just 1-6 in their last seven as a home favorite from -110 to -150, and Colon can keep the Mets right there in this one. Play on the Mets.
