The Phillies offense has scored 526 runs with a .250 batting average and a .313 on base percentage. Rhys Hoskins is batting .248 with 24 home runs and 54 RBI’s for the Phillies this season. The projected starter for Philadelphia is Aaron Nola, who is 8-8 with a 3.17 ERA and a 0.95 WHIP over 144.2 innings pitched this season.

Philadelphia is 4-0 in their last 4 game two’s of a series and 9-1 in their last 10 road games. The under is 3-0-1 in Philadelphia’s last 4 game two’s of a series. New York is 6-1 in their last 7 Saturday games and 6-13 in their last 19 game two’s of a series. The under is 9-1 in New York’s last 10 game two’s of a series. The over is 4-1 in these two teams last 5 head to head meetings in New York.
Friday night’s matchup was a very low scoring game with Philadelphia winnings 2-1 in extra innings and I expect more of the same here. Both of these pitchers have been good this season, even though deGrom has only made two starts. Both lineups have been solid this year, especially the Mets, but I expect both pitchers to have good outings and I am taking the under here.
