The over is 3-1-1 in Phillies last 5 overall. The over is 9-4-1 in Mets last 14 overall. The Phillies are 1-6 in the last 7 meetings in New York and 1-5 in the last 6 meetings.
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.
