Phillies vs Mets Prediction
The Mets continue their comical ways where they find ways to lose, and there’s no getting behind them with confidence. While Peterson has been solid on the season, he’s allowed 38 hits and 27 runs in his last 36.1 innings. As talented as the Mets are, this ridiculous losing stretch is hard to explain. The Phillies are piling up the wins, and Luzardo has allowed 7 hits and 2 runs in his last 12.2 innings. Two teams heading in different directions. Give me the Phillies and the reasonable price. You have to keep fading the Mets.
