2008-05-14 - Washington Nationals at New York Mets
A Sports Betting Pick by Dave Cokin
T. Redding (4-3, 3.83), C. Vargas (0-0, -.--)
Wednesday, 14th May 2008 - Starts at 7:10 ET
Claudio Vargas is back in the bigs after toiling in New Orleans to start the season. The veteran righthander makes his debut for the Mets after a bit of a roster shakeup that took place Tuesday.
Vargas is extremely erratic, has lousy control and goves up loads of hits. But he also manages to win more games than he loses.
It's rare that a pitcher who's 23-16 over the last two seasons gets sent to the minors, and I have to think Vargas will be highly charged for his return to the show.
The Nationals have gotten some good mileage out of Tim Redding this year, but I like the home team's chances here.
The Mets are the choice.
