NY Mets are 6-2 SU in their last 8 games on the road.
Philadelphia are 1-4 SU in their last 5 games.

##Prediction
The Phillies have lost 4 of the 6 times they have faced the Mets this season and have been dominated by Walker who has held them to zero runs in 2 games. Aaron Nola has allowed 3 runs in each of his last 2 starts against the Mets. The wrong team is favored here, I'm going with the Mets.
