The New York Mets started the baseball betting season just like most sports wagering fans expected: terribly. After losing most of their games during the first two weeks of the MLB odd action something strange started to happen. The Mets started to win, and win some more and now, heading into the second game of three-game baseball betting series with the LA Dodgers the Mets have won four games in a row and will looking for a fifth straight victory.

This is something quite unusual for this team which has suffered through one disappointing season after another during the past few MLB betting seasons. Last in particular was awful for NY Mets fans as the team was among the worst in the NL baseball betting. But after acquiring a few free agent bats in the off season and keeping their pitching staff healthy the Mets are finally playing a like with the front office hoped it would be when it put together this gazillion dollar payroll.

The Mets will send Oliver Perez (0-2) to the mound in search of his first MLB odds victory this season. Perez has pitched well enough he’s just been unlucky, had little run support and had the bull pen give up plenty runs in the late innings. Baseball betting fans point to his 3.71 ERA as evidence of his success but in all three starts the Mets have only been able tack on 3 runs a game.

In recent games, however, runs haven’t been a problem and Perez should get his first win of the baseball betting season. The Dodgers will have their best pitcher so far in the 2010 MLB betting season on the mound with Hiroki Kuroda getting the start. Kuroda has been fantastic so far with a 2.18 ERA and a 2-0 record. He’s gone at least 5.2 innings in every start this MLB betting season and lasted 8 innings in his last start. He’s also been throwing good pitches with 18 Ks in 20.2 innings of work.

Still, the Mets are in the middle of something good right now in the baseball odds action and with Perez hungry for his first win and the Mets bats working well of late it seems like New York should extend its baseball betting win streak to six games in the Big Apple.
