The 4-2 Mets are on the road against a tough home side in the Twins. Both have winning records in September and both are hitting well over the last two weeks. While NY is definitely the inferior team this year, they have Senga on the mound on Friday and that counts for a lot. He has eliminated many of the walks that plagued him early, pitches for length (+6 innings /start) and strikes out a ton. He will face Keuchel who has 3 of 5 quality starts since returning in August. When Keuchel is off, as he was last time out, the sky is the limit as far as runs allowed go. Based on past performance, he is a hard pitcher to have much faith in. The Twins strike out more than any other team, and Senga has 22 K's in his last two starts. Minnesota has never faced him before. I like the Mets' chances, especially early, however their bullpen has been equal to the Twins' of late. They haven't been the best road team this year, but a much superior starter will aid the Mets to steal the first game of the series on the road.
