Mets vs Phillies Prediction
Walker is having a hell of a month of August, where he’s allowed 19 hits and six runs in his last 23.2 innings. In 48 road innings, Walker has a 2.63 ERA and .249 allowed batting average. McLean has just 12.1 innings for his career, but he’s allowed just six hits and two runs. We have two pitchers in terrific form, and we’re due for a low scoring game between these two teams. I’ll take a shot with the under between the Phillies and Mets.
