Preview
The New York Mets and the Philadelphia Phillies will play the 3rd game of the series at the Citizens Bank Park on Wednesday. The series is tied 1-1.
New York Mets
The Mets won the second game of the series 2-0 and tied the series 1-1. They're now 3-3 this season and are averaging 4.6 runs while allowing 2.16 runs per game. Canha leads the team with a .471 batting average while Pete Alonso leads the team in RBI's with 5.
New York’s pitching has been very good, Tylor Megill has 2 wins already and 11 strike outs with an 0.00 ERA. Chris Bassit also has a 0.00 ERA and 8 strikeouts.
Probable Pitcher:
Max Scherzer (1-0, 4.50 ERA) will start for the Mets in the 3rd game of the series. Scherzer (1-0) picked up the win Friday against the Nationals, allowing three runs on three hits and a walk over six innings in a 7-3 victory. He struck out six. He dominated the Phillies last season in 3 appearances, he allowed only 2 runs in 14.1 innings.
Philadelphia Phillies
The Phillies couldn't do much against Megill who hold them to only 3 hits during 5 innings. Philadelphia get here with a 3-3 record and are averaging 3.80 runs per game while allowing 3.75 runs. Rhys Hoskins leads the team in RBI's with 4. Jean Segura leads the team with two home runs and .333 avg at bat.
Kyle Gibson had the best performance recording his first win with a 0.00 ERA and striking out 10 batters.
Probable Pitcher:
Aaron Nola (1-0, 6.00 ERA) will be on the mound for the Phillies in the 3rd game of the series. Nola allowed four runs on four hits in six innings while striking out seven in a 9-5 win Friday over Oakland. In his last 3 starts against the Mets he allowed 4 runs in 16 innings and had 28 strike outs.
BETTING TRENDS
The total has gone UNDER in 5 of NY Mets' last 7 games.
NY Mets are 4-2 SU in their last 6 games.
The total has gone UNDER in 9 of Philadelphia's last 13 games.
Philadelphia are 8-3 SU in their last 11 games at home.
Prediction
It's tough to pick a side when you have Scherzer on one side and Nola on the other, although both aces allowed 3 and 4 runs in their last games. The Mets offense has been better than the Phillies batting for an average of .277 and 48 hits while the Phillies average is .240 and only 29 hits. I'm taking the Mets to win the series.
