Two of the better teams in baseball begin an interleague series on Friday in New York as the Mets host the Oakland A's. New York goes with Tom Glavine in the opener against Lenny DiNaro for the Athletics. SBG Global reports that early betting has the gambling public taking Oakland with a comeback of +134.

Glavine (5-5, 4.67 ERA) has not pitched well of late, going 0-4 with an ERA of 7.31 in his last five starts. "In 20 years, I've never had a season that didn't have one of these periods when I went through this kind of thing," Glavine said, "No, I'm not depressed, frustrated. I've had two bad games," he said. "It's not fun going through it, but it's part of the process. It's more mechanics than anything else. I haven't had that feel I want out there on the mound." Glavine has been horrible in interleague action. He is 1-2 with an 11.93 ERA in three starts, giving up 19 runs and 28 hits in 14 1-3 innings. He lost his only career start against the A's in 2005. The Mets are -144 favorites with a total of 9 Under (-120) at SBG Global.

The Mets have lost 14 of their last 18 overall and are 2-7 at home in their last nine games. The big part of the Mets lineup has not done the job recently as Carlos Beltran, David Wright and Carlos Delgado have combined for only two homers over the last nine games. "We're going through a tough time right now," manager Willie Randolph said. "But mama said there would be days like this. Or weeks - that, too. It's not earth-shattering. Other teams around the league are struggling, too. Most of our guys are struggling at the same time." The Athletics split their six-game homestand and have won 13 of their last 18 games. Lenny DiNardo (2-3, 2.21) takes the mound on Friday. He gave up five runs and seven hits in 3 2-3 innings of a 15-6 loss to St. Louis on Saturday. It was his first poor start this season. "I never found the rhythm, and when I was ahead of somebody I couldn't put them away," said DiNardo. "I couldn't throw strikes, and that's part of putting people away."
