St. Louis at New York

Mike Pelfrey opened the season in sparking fashion, starting 4-0 with an 0.69 ERA. He then had a few bad games and went on to lead the Mets to six straight wins, pitching to a 1.65 ERA. It's what has happened in his last seven starts that has to concern Mets fans. Pelfrey has pitched 32.2 innings allowing 30 runs for an ERA of 8.26. The 32 innings in seven starts represents just 4+ innings per start. Jamie Darcia has been on every time out, but once for the Cards as he has allowed three runs or less in 18 of 19 starts and two runs or less in 17 of 19. Give me those numbers as a dog and I'll back them every time, especially since we are talking about a Mets offense that has produced a total of 32 runs in their last 16 games. St. Louis gets the call.
