NY Mets vs Philadelphia Phillies Prediction
I’m staying with the Mets. Manaea had a shaky start versus the Reds on September 6, going 6.2 innings with four earned. Since then, however, Manaea has just two earned in 13.2 total innings. As for Suarez, he’s given up seven earned over his last 10.1 innings in two starts.
On Friday the Mets could only find four team hits—with two of them belonging to Jose Iglesias (solo homer) New York suffered a rough pitching outing Friday, and they’ll pretty much need a complete reset for game three.
