Prediction
Phillies 6, Mets 5
Moneyline
New York is just 5-11 across its last 16 games vs. the PHILLIES (-150).
Peg Peterson as a fade candidate due to some favorable batting-average-on-balls-in-play numbers. Sanchez owns a wide gulf in his home-road splits: He's logged a 2.11 ERA at Citizens and a 5.13 ERA elsewhere. Overall, he owns a 2.14 ERA, 0.92 WHIP over his last 5 starts.
The Phillies are 51-26 at home but just 36-41 ATS in those games. PHILADELPHIA (-150) is worth a partial-unit play.
Run line/Against the spread
Look to the ML action for the best leverage: PASS.
Over/Under
Four of the last 5 Mets-Phillies games at Citizens have cashed on the Over. Six of Philadelphia's last 8 games have hit the Over.
The lefty-lefty matchup on the mound plays into strengths for both lineups. Philadelphia (.792 OPS vs. lefties) and New York (.774 OPS vs. lefties) rank No. 1 and No. 4, respectively, in OPS against port-siders.
FanDuel Sportsbook has the best tag here. BACK THE OVER 8.5 (+100).
