07/24/2008 - (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Oliver Perez tries to continue his mastery of the Philadelphia Phillies this afternoon, when the New York Mets play the pivotal rubber match of their three-game series with their National League East rivals at Shea Stadium.
Perez has been inconsistent all season but terrific in his three starts versus the Phillies, going 1-0 while not allowing a run in 18 1/3 innings of those outings. For his career he is 2-3 against Philadelphia with a 3.39 earned run average in 11 starts.
The 26-year-old left-hander was charged with the loss in his last start on Saturday against the Cincinnati Reds, surrendering three runs (2 earned) and six hits in six innings to drop to 6-6 on the year to go along with a 4.36 ERA.
Jose Reyes atoned for a critical fielding mistake in Tuesday's crushing loss to Philadelphia by hitting the go-ahead three-run home run in the sixth inning last night, helping New York to a 6-3 win.
Carlos Beltran and Marlon Anderson each chipped in an RBI in the win, while Damion Easley went 3-for-5 with an RBI for the Mets, who are just 2-3 over their last five games but moved back into a tie with Philadelphia atop the NL East.
John Maine (9-7) got the win after he went seven frames and yielded just three runs on six hits, while fanning five and walking two batters.
Brett Myers, who made his first start since being sent to the minors in late June to work on his mechanics, stamina and overall mental psyche, lasted five innings for the Phillies and was touched for three runs on three hits. He struck out two and walked a career-high five batters in a no-decision.
Ryan Madson (2-1) took over for Myers in the sixth and gave up back-to-back singles to Easley and Brian Schneider before Maine struck out on a foul bunt. Reyes then deposited a first-pitch changeup over the fence in right-center, giving the Mets a 6-3 lead they would not relinquish.
Billy Wagner, who was not available to close when the Mets blew a three-run ninth-inning lead in Tuesday's series opener, set down the Phillies in order in the ninth for his 25th save.
Shane Victorino and Geoff Jenkins hit solo home runs for the Phillies, who have dropped three of their last four. Jimmy Rollins had the other RBI for Philadelphia, which extended his hit streak to 10 games.
Getting the call for the Phillies this afternoon will be 45-year-old lefty Jamie Moyer, who has won his last two starts. Moyer defeated Florida on Friday, as he gave up two runs and four hits in six innings to improve to 9-6 on the season and lower his ERA to 3.90.
Moyer has faced the Mets 14 times over the course of his lengthy career and is 6-4 with a 2.77 ERA against them.
New York is 8-4 against the Phillies this season, including wins in four of the last five meetings in the series.

Matt Kenseth And Kevin Harvick Favorites To Take NASCAR Nextel Cup Championship
(September 15)—The NASCAR season has hit the homestretch with the opening event on this year’s Chase for the Cup taking place this weekend at the Sylvania 300 at New Hampshire International Speedway. With 10 races remaining to determine the Cup Series champion, leading online sportsbook MySportsbook.com today announced odds on all 10 Chase qualifying drivers capturing the NASCAR Sprint Cup Championship.
One of the largest sportsbook sites on the Internet, MySportsbook.com currently lists the top two drivers in the point standings as the early favorites to win the Nextel Cup. Entering the Chase for the Cup with a slim five-point lead in the point standings, 2003 NASCAR champ Matt Kenseth has been made a slight favorite to win his second Cup at 7/2 betting odds. 2001 Cup Rookie of the Year Kevin Harvick has betting odds listed at 5/2 and four-time NASCAR champion Jeff Gordon is listed at 6/1 to capture the Nextel Cup this year.
Hoping to follow in the footsteps of his legendary father who won six NASCAR titles, Dale Earnhardt Jr. stands at 8/1 to breakthrough with his first Cup victory. Staying with the family theme, MySportsbook.com lists 2005 Rookie of the Year Kyle Busch at 14/1 to succeed big brother Kurt’s 2004 NASCAR title. While Kasey Kahne was the final driver to qualify for the Chase with a third place finish last week, the oddsmakers give him a fighting chance at 10/1 mainly due to several mile-and-a-half tracks remaining on the schedule. Despite going winless on the NASCAR circuit this season, Jeff Burton enters the Chase at 5/1 to capture the Cup title. Meanwhile, rookie Denny Hamlin is 4/1 to win the championship, while veteran driver Mark Martin enters the Chase for the Cup as a 15/1 long shot to win his first NASCAR title in his 24th and final season.
