(by Brett Kahn)Friday night's rain out between the Mets and Braves might have been a positive thing for a team still trying to figure out its starting rotation.
John Maine will indeed go today at 3:55 against Tim Hudson as planned, which allows the Mets' pitcher with the best spring training to prove his worth.
Mike Pelfrey, the Mets most consistently-bad pitcher during the spring, will have to wait to get his shot at the division rivals. He will get his shot at the other division rival, the Philadelphia Phillies.
In order to keep Johan Santana on regular rest, the Mets bumped Pelfrey from the Braves series allowing Santana to pitch in the finale. In the upcoming series against the Philies, Oliver Perez will get the opener, Pelfrey the second game, and Maine, the finale. (NY DAILY NEWS)
