Betting Trends for vs
The Philadelphia Phillies have not lived up to expectations this season as they have been stuck in the middle of an average NL East, but they are a much better team than the New York Mets and they have a major pitching advantage here. Aaron Nola has looked like every bit of an ace this season for Joe Girardi and company as he is posting a 2.40 ERA with 5 wins, but Philadelphia also has a ton of talent in their starting lineup with Bryce Harper, Didi Gregorius, J.T. Realmuto, and Rhys Hoskins. Seth Lugo has been good for the Mets in a starting pitcher role, but the bullpen has been an absolute mess this season which concerns me in a situation like this as Nola is good for 7 innings at the bare minimum. Final Score Prediction, Philadelphia Phillies win 5-2.
