The Mets and Cards will do battle on the baseball betting diamond on Saturday April 18th. The New York will travel to Saint Louie and try and try and derail a Card’s team that has been all but unbeatable over the first two weeks of the MLB odds action. And it will be no easy task considering how poor the Mets have looked thus far in the 2010 baseball wagering.

The Mets (2-5), unfortunately find themselves in familiar territory so far this year: last in the NL East. Last year was a baseball betting aberration, or so the Met’s faithful hoped. After being absolutely depleted by injuries it was no wonder that the team finished near the bottom of the NL betting competition. But this MLB betting season was supposed to be different.

With a healthy roster, ace Johan Santana finally in good form and host of free agent bats meant to bolster the team’s meager run production in the 2010 MLB odds action, this was going to be the year the team got back into MLB playoff betting contention. But it hasn’t happened yet and the team’s baseball postseason betting hopes won’t get any help facing a dominating Cardinal staff and stacked lineup.

The Cards (5-2) starting pitching has been among the best in the NL betting action so far this year. Ace Adam Wainright has been all but unhittable (2-0, 1.20 ERA, 13 Ks) and his fellow starters haven’t been bad either. But the Card’s have the luxury of having an off night as well, as Albert Pujols and Matt Holliday have been blasting opposing pitchers so far this MLB betting season (8 HRs and 20 RBIs between the two of them through 7 baseball betting games).

Depending on the pitching matchups the Cards will win at least 2 of the 3 games in this MLB odds series and could even sweep.
