New York Mets vs Philadelphia Phillies Prediction

This game is going to be higher scoring. I really don’t trust Jose Quintana or Taijuan Walker and they are both going to be lit up in this game. The Phillies especially are going to get out to a fast start and that is going to be the difference. Look for both teams to score at least seven runs, and this game is going to be a shootout. This game is going to be a shootout and it’s going to go well over the total.
