Tonight the Mets will stop the bleeding sending Johan Santana to the mound. The Mets actually started their 5 game win streak with a sweep of the Nats, so its fitting that the Mets will try to revive their winning steak against the Nationals tonight.
On another note, I will be at the game tonight, so I am very excited. First game of the season for me, hopefully will be a great night.
Going for the Nationals tonight will be Tim Redding. He has not faced the Mets yet this season, and has been pretty successful with his 3.27 ERA.
When looking at current Mets against Redding, there is one that jumps off the list that should not pinch hit against him. Anderson has not been very successful this season, and really not in his career against Redding. He is 1-12 with a walk.
For Castillo, batting him second shouldn't be a big deal tonight as he is 4-13 with 2 RBI. Other Mets:
    Reyes 4-8, RBI
    Wright 2-4, HR, RBI, 2 BB
    Beltran 2-4, HR, 3 RBI
Go for the win tonight! Go Mets!
