Expert picks & predictions for tonight’s game between the Phillies and the Mets
Rotoworld Best Bet
Vaughn Dalzell (@VmoneySports) leans the Mets to take care of business amid their hot streak:
“Aaron Nola is 0-4 this season and allowed at least two earned runs in every start. Nola started against the Mets twice last year and had a 4.05 ERA with 10 hits allowed and six earned runs over 13.1 innings. Nola did strike out 15 and walk two, but his current form is not reminiscent of that. Nola has walked four hitters in back-to-back games and I don’t see a reason why this road start against the Mets, winners of four-straight, would be his get-right spot. It’s Mets ML or pass for me with a lean to the New York Team Total Over 3.5.”
