Perth coach Kenny Lowe anticipates a vastly different Central Coast under new coach Paul Okon, when two sides with contrasting expectations meet to open their A-League campaigns.Championship contenders Glory are comfortable favourites to defeat back-to-back wooden-spoon contenders the Mariners at nib Stadium on Saturday.Johnny Warren Medallist Diego Castro and fringe Socceroo Rhys Williams headline a formidable Perth squad dramatically strengthened by shrewd off-season recruitment.On paper its a daunting prospect for even the leagues top teams, let alone one that conceded 70 goals last season.But Lowe predicted the Mariners would be unrecognisable from their days under sacked coach Tony Walmsley.He cited his successor, former Young Socceroos coach Okon, and an increase in experience in former Sydney FC players Jacques Faty, Mickael Tavares and goalkeeper Ivan Necevski.Theyll be a different entity altogether, Lowe said.Very well-organised and difficult to play against.Theyve got some experience this year. Their goalkeeper is highly experienced, youve got Faty and Tavares whove played at the top level and (captain) Nick Montgomery has about 500 league games.And a highly credentialed coach whos worked in the national set-up for five or six years.Lowe was also wary of a lively front three in Fabio Ferreira, Roy ODonovan and ex-Melbourne Victory winger Connor Pain.But Glory possess their own attacking arsenal, with strikers Andy Keogh and Adam Taggart ready for deployment.Defender Shane Lowry is still unavailable following minor pre-season surgery, while rising Mariners star Liam Rose is away on international duty.But Storm Roux could make his return having overcome a terrible series of injuries sustained in February.Okon is working to tighten up the Mariners defence while implementing his preferred open, attacking playing philosophy.Were confident of our ability and playing style, Okon said.Were also confident that if we can perform consistently to the level weve shown in the past couple of pre-season games we certainly will have something to say in this competition.STATS THAT MATTER:* Perth won five and drew one of their past seven games against Central Coast; they last beat them 4-0* The Mariners conceded four goals in each of their past five away games* Glory scored the most penalties last season without missing a single attempt (8/8) China Jerseys .C. at the helm of the top team in the Eastern Conference.

NEW YORK -- Slumping outfielder Jay Bruce was out of the New York Mets starting lineup for the second straight game.Acquired by the Mets from Cincinnati at the Aug. 1 trade deadline, Bruce pinch hit and flied out in Monday nights 7-3 loss to against Atlanta. A 3-for-34 slide has left him with a .180 batting average, four homers and 11 RBI in 38 games with New York.We just told Jay yesterday, look, were going to get you out of here.

Walker rebounded to hit .426 (40 for 94) over the next month before a back injury that required season-ending surgery.Collins also saidd left-hander Steven Matz, who has not pitched since Aug.dddddddddddd 14 because of shoulder tightness, may throw a Wednesday bullpen session in New York rather than at the teams spring training complex in Port St. Lucie, Florida.Matz could rejoin the rotation later this week. He would be limited to 40-50 pitches.Hes not ready to go real far, so we need to make sure were not just taking a short in the dark here and starting a guy that we can get only get two innings out of, Collins said.Matz would follow Noah Syndergaard, who is lined up to pitch Saturday and Sept. 30 at Philadelphia, which would put him on track to start the NL wild-card game on Oct. 5 with normal four days rest.
