2009 and was a disastrous MLB baseball betting season for the New York Mets. The season was practically over before it even began due to a string of injuries and unusual bad luck. In what was supposed to be a banner sports betting season, one in which the Mets were preseason favorites among MLB odds makers to win the NL East, the team was lucky just to finish the season.

But with plenty of time to rest and get healthy again the Mets are looking to reverse their fortunes in the 2010 baseball betting season and once again compete for the MLB wagering post season.

After finishing a hugely disappointing 2009 in last place in the NL East betting standings and winding up the season 23 games out (70-92) the Mets are ready to give the Phillies a run for the money.

The 2010 Mets are much different team than the one that limped to finish line of the 2010 baseball betting season and barring any major injuries and other forms of outrageous bad luck this is a team that should not only compete for the NL East baseball wagering title but one that many MLB odds makers could compete for a spot in the World Series odds competition.

On the mound this team has a solid –if oft injured- starting rotation led by ace Johan Santana, one of the best pitchers in the MLB wagering action. His 13 wins in 2009 led the team, but with even a hint of run support this guy is capable of 20 wins seasons every year. The team also has an above average closer in Francisco Rodriguez who will look to improve on his 36 save total in the ’09 sports betting season.

The teams’ biggest weakness in the MLB odds competition last year was at the plate. When your leading power hitter finishes the MLB betting season with just 12 HRs you know you got major issues. But the Mets addressed this in the off season brining in sluggers Jason Bay and Jeff Francouer.

With a little bit of good luck the Mets could return to the top of the baseball betting competition this year and finally give the CitiField fans something to cheer about.
