Result: Loss

*3 Star MLB Early Bird Special* Johan Santana didn't pitch at all in 2011, and he was shaky in Spring Training. This isn't the game pitcher from two or three years ago. The Mets bullpen is a major problem area, while the Braves may have the best bullpen in the National League. Tommy Hanson is constantly improving as a starter. The Braves have one of the best defensive teams in the league, while the Mets are terrible on defense. The Braves are 8-1 in Hanson's last 9 road starts. I think oddsmakers are giving too much credit to Santana in his first start back. Take Atlanta.
