Phillies at Mets picks and predictions
Prediction
Mets 5, Phillies 3
Moneyline
BET METS (-115).
The Mets sit in the top half of the league following a loss with a 38-30 record. New York is 3-1 over its last 4 losses and has tallied 32 runs over its last 4 games, so it has the bats to be able to get on base against a solid pitcher in Suarez.
The Mets have won Manaea’s last 7 starts as well. The Phillies have struggled as of late and may have some fatigue as the season drags on and their playoff spot is secured. That said, they re 2-3 over their last 5.
Take METS (-115).
Run line/Against the spread
PASS.
There’s no good value here. The Phillies are too risky as a run-line favorite, and the Mets aren’t worth taking here as a run-line underdog. Avoid this play.
Over/Under
BET OVER 7.5 (+100).
The Phillies have gone Over in 2 straight games and are 4-3-1 O/U in their last 8. Philadelphia has scored at least 5 runs in 3 of its last 4 games and are 4-1-1 O/U in Suarez’s last 6 starts.
The Mets have gone Over in 4 straight games and have allowed 18 runs in their last 2 combined. They are 7-2 O/U in their last 9 and 78-71-5 O/U on the season. Back OVER 7.5 (+100).
