Philadelphia Phillies vs New York Mets Prediction: Mets Favorites to Wi

In the upcoming fixture of MLB, we have Philadelphia Phillies hosting New York Mets at Citizens Bank Park. Going in the contest, the Phillies will look to turn the home advantage in their favor; however, stats and previous records suggest New York Mets as the favorites to win. In their last game, the Phillies lost to the Cincinnati Reds (1-0), which seemed totally unrealistic from their point of view. On the other hand, the visitors are also coming off a defeat against the Braves (3-2) in their previous away outing. With New York Mets leading the NL East standings with a 6-4 win-loss ratio and 63.9 winning percentage, the Mets are looking to hold their spot and keep their heads up. Philadelphia Phillies stand 3rd in the NL East with a 55.6 percent winning ratio.

With now Phillies hosting the Mets, we can expect them to try and win the series. Though, the Phillies are coming off a defeat against the Reds (1-0), they have won the previous away series. Going in the contest, the Phillies will look to produce something exceptional with the assistance of Jake Fraley, Jonathan India, and TJ Friedl in the batting card. Pitchers T.J. Zeuch and Buck Farmer will look to deliver according to the expectations of their teammates, restricting the opposition to an under-par score. Reiver Sanmartin, who was exceptional with 3 strikeouts in 1.1 IP, will look to unsettle the visitors.

Though the Mets are coming off a series defeat against the Braves, they will look to come out fully prepared against the home side. Going in the contest, Dansby Swanson and Austin Riley will play a very pivotal factor as the batting openers are likely to apply the pressure in the first and second innings of play. Mets will aim to score maximum without wasting any innings. A scoreless inning will dent them badly in the game against the Phillies. In the pitching corner, Max Fried will be leading the probable pitchers with a clear aim of limiting the opposition to an under-par total. 

Going in the contest, many bookmakers and experts back the Mets to win. The game total is expected to be over 8.5, and the Mets to score at least 5 or more. Met’s pitchers will produce something sensational with 5-7 strikeouts in the first 5 innings.
