Philadelphia Phillies vs New York Mets Prediction
The Philadelphia Phillies aren't stringing together runs the way they should have given the lineup, and Taijuan Walker has been a complete mess this season. The New York Mets are one of the hotter teams in baseball, the offense has caught fire and Luis Severino has pitched his best this season at Citi Field. I'm not trying to step in front of the Mets in their current form. I'll lay the cheap price with the home team.
