Mets at Phillies 6/25/19 - MLB Picks & Predictions

NL East Division rivals will square off on Tuesday night, when the New York Mets and Philadelphia Phillies continue their series from Citizens Bank Park. Last night, New York SP Steven Matz was chased after giving up seven runs in four plus innings during a 13-7 road loss. Michael Conforto hit one of four home runs for the Mets, who are four games below .500 overall.

Twenty-five year old righty Walker Lockett (0-1 23.14 ERA) will make his second start of the season for the Mets. Through 17 plus career major league innings, Lockett has been tagged for 27 hits and 22 runs. The Philadelphia Phillies can finally breathe a sigh of relief after snapping a seven-game losing streak during last night’s series opener. Jean Segura collected four of Philadelphia’s 19 hits and scored twice. Maikel Franco homered and drove in three runs for the Phillies, who trail Atlanta by 6.5 games for first place.

The Phillies will counter with thirty-three year old righty Jake Arrieta (6-6 4.12 ERA) on Tuesday. Last time out, Arrieta allowed just two hits and one run across six innings of a 2-0 road loss against Washington.
