New York Mets vs Philadelphia Phillies Prediction
Rangel has just 19.1 innings under his belt this season, and he hasn’t been great in those limited frames. The Mets have the edge with McLean on the bump. However, I’m just not in the business of backing the Mets, the most disappointing team in baseball. I don’t care about the edge with the starting pitchers. I’m going to continue fading the Mets until it no longer makes sense. Give me the Phillies.
