New York Mets vs Philadelphia Phillies Prediction
Right when it looks like the New York Mets are turning the corner, they string together some ugly losses. It's also hard to get behind Joey Lucchesi who hasn't pitched on the big league level this season and has limited reps over the last few seasons overall. The Philadelphia Phillies continue to pile up the wins and Ranger Suarez is looking more and more like a CY Young candidate. I'm not stepping in front of the Phillies. Give me the home team for another NL East victory.
