Phillies vs. Mets Predictions
Taijuan Walker has been on fire lately, lowering his season ERA from 5.65 to 4.31 over his last four starts. In his most recent performance, Walker pitched 8 strong innings against the Oakland Athletics, allowing just 1 run and 7 hits. His resurgence has given the Phillies bullpen some much-needed rest. The Phillies were riding a 6-game winning streak before being swept in a 2-game series by the red-hot Atlanta Braves, who have now won 8 straight games.
On the other side, Kodai Senga boasts an ERA of 3.53 and a 6-4 record so far this season for the Mets. In his last start against the St. Louis Cardinals, Senga allowed 2 early home runs but settled in to pitch 6.2 innings. He also threw 7 scoreless innings in a recent start against the Pirates. The Mets have struggled lately, going 1-4 in their last 5 games but have a strong 8-1 record in their last 9 games against the Phillies.
Phillies vs. Mets Picks
Offensively, the Phillies rank in the middle of the pack in categories such as runs scored, batting average, and home runs. The Mets, however, rank in the top half of the league in runs scored and home runs, but their team batting average is slightly below average. Key players to watch in this series include Pete Alonso and Francisco Lindor for the Mets, and Bryce Harper for the Phillies.
While the Phillies have home field advantage, the Mets’ recent domination in head-to-head matchups cannot be ignored. Let’s take the Mets moneyline at +100 on Friday!
