Philadelphia Phillies vs. New York Mets Prediction
I’m on the Phillies here. I think that if there’s a spot for the Phillies to get one in this set, it’s here, as the Phillies had some late momentum with a rally before falling short in Monday’s matchup. Canning is still a pitcher I’m not 100% sold on in this Mets’ rotation, and Sanchez is cementing himself as one of the better lefty starters in baseball this season. I think the Phillies can get it done to even up the series. Give me the Phillies.
