In this article, we will formulate a Philadelphia Phillies vs NY Mets Prediction for this MLB game on Sunday, October 6th, at Citizens Bank Park. To formulate this prediction, we will examine:
Mets Have Had Late Magic All Offseason
The Mets’ offseason has been all about late magic, and the first game of this series was no different. The Met’s first run didn’t come until the 8th inning, but they scored five, and that was enough for the victory. Brandon Nimmo continues to get the big hits, and he finished with two hits and two RBIs. It was a bullpen game to start it off, and there were five different pitchers that played in the game. Francisco Lindor didn’t have a hit but finished with two walks and one run. The offense has been great late, but in this game they need to try to get the offense out to a faster start. They continue to play with fire with their late comebacks.
Getting the start for the Mets will be Luis Severino who sits with an 11-7 record and an ERA of 3.91. In his last start against the Milwaukee Brewers, though, he had some struggles, going six innings giving up eight hits and four runs.
Must Win for the Phillies?
This already feels like it’s a must win for the Phillies as they don’t want to fall behind 2-0 having to go back to New York. The biggest problem for the Phillies was Zack Wheeler couldn’t go the whole game. He went seven innings and gave up only one hit and zero runs. His pitch count was up, though, and he couldn’t go any deeper. The offense only finished with five hits and two runs. Kyle Schwarber had a strong game, finishing with two hits and one home run. Kody Clemons also finished with a hit and an RBI.
Getting the start for the Phillies will be Cristopher Sanchez, who finished with an 11-9 record and an ERA of 3.32. In his last start against the Chicago Cubs he went 4.2 innings giving up five hits and four runs.
Philadelphia Phillies vs NY Mets Prediction
The Mets have had the late magic all postseason, but that is going to end here. Severino in his last start gave up eight hits and four runs, and he’s going to really struggle again in this game. The Phillies have their backs against the wall, and it’s all hands on the deck for them. The Phillies’ offense is going to get to Luis Severino here early, and the Mets will get the job done. Back the Phillies on the run line.
