Randy’s Pick

The New York Mets have had issues stringing wins together this season, and Carlos Carrasco hasn’t been good through 25.1 innings. The Philadelphia Phillies offense is due for a breakout result, and Aaron Nola has followed up poor showings with respectable games. This is a spot where the Phillies have the edge. I’ll lay the cheap price with the road team.
