Mets vs. Phillies Picks
Run Line Pick for Mets vs. Phillies
- Philadelphia Phillies -1.5 (4 Units)
The Phillies have the edge in this game because they’re playing well offensively and scored 23 runs in their last four games. They’re facing a Mets pitching staff that has struggled on the mound in recent games, especially on the road, where they gave up 22 runs in their last four games, so expect them to play well offensively in this game.
The Mets will have a hard time keeping up offensively because they’re not playing as well as the Phillies, and scored 18 runs in their last four road games. They haven’t had a lot of success against right-handers, and they’re going up against Wheeler, who has been great on the mound for the Phillies all season. He gave up three runs in his last three starts and five runs in his last four home starts, so expect him to keep New York’s offense in check. Take Philadelphia on the run line.
Over/Under Pick for Mets vs. Phillies
- Under (4 Units)
The Mets average 4.08 runs per game. They’re batting .231 against right-handers, and they’re facing a starter who gave up three runs in his last three starts. The Phillies average 4.11 runs per game. They’re batting .229 for the season, and they’re facing a team that is giving up 4.28 runs per game. Don’t expect these teams to score enough runs to push the score over the total.
