Today's Best Bet

Today's best bet is to take Pedro Martinez and the Mets as they take on the Dodgers in LA. The line is Mets -$150 (meaning you would have to risk $150 to win $100).

Pedro Martinez is a very proud man and when he has something to prove he can be the very best in the game. He still holds a grudge against the Dodgers because they traded him to the Expos. The Dodgers said he was too slight, too frail to be successful in Major league Baseball. Pedro will want to shove it in the Dodgers' face today. I know that the Mets are hurting right now but I'm confident Pedro will carry the day.

This is similar to when Greg Maddux was with the Braves and he used to be a sure thing when he played the Cubs (Maddux had something to prove to the Cubs and he always brought a little something extra against Chicago just to prove they made a big mistake by letting him go as a free agent).
