On Sunday afternoon at 3:35 p.m., the New York Mets and Los Angeles Angels will conclude their interleague series at Angel Stadium of Anaheim. Taking the ball for the Mets will be the gritty veteran, Bartolo Colon, while the Angels will counter with left hander C.J. Wilson.
Colon won the American League Cy Young Award as a member of the Angels in 2005. He also led the league in wins with 21 and has a career record of 190-129. He is one of the most underappreciated players in the history of the league and even after several terrible seasons in the middle of his career, has rebounded nicely in the past two seasons, going 28-15. In his career against the current Los Angeles players, he has allowed 49 hits in 187 at-bats. He has done a nice job of keeping the ball in the ballpark, allowing just 4 home runs. Raul Ibanez has more than a third of the at-bats, going 18-for-69 with 1 home run and 8 RBIs.
For the Angels, they will rely on the former Texas Ranger, who is currently 1-1 with a 4.61 ERA this season. Currently in his third season with the Angels, Wilson is now 31-18. Against the current members of the Mets, Wilson has allowed 5 hits in 31 at-bats. Curtis Granderson (3-for-16) and Chris Young (1-for-14) have registered the most at-bats against Wilson.
