Why The Mets Could Cover The Spread

New York needs their offense to come alive in this game. Luckily, Suarez is a little worse when pitching at home this season. He is 0-3 with a 4.94 ERA, and he has given up eight of his 12 home runs at home. The Mets hit their home runs, and that is what they rely on to win games. Pete Alonso, Lindor, and Francisco Alvarez are three important hitters in this game. If one of those batters can get hot, and drive in some runs, the Mets will cover the spread.

Why The Phillies Could Cover The Spread

Suarez already has a start against the Mets this season. In that game, Suarez threw 6 2/3 innings, allowed just five hits, two runs, and struck out four. That is a good enough start to be labeled quality, and there is a good chance for that to continue in this game. If Suarez can keep the Mets to just two or three runs again, the Phillies should cover the spread.

The Phillies are also facing a pitcher that struggles a lot on the road. Peterson is 1-6 with a 7.35 ERA, and opponents are batting .327 off him. The Phillies have not faced him yet, but they have a very good matchup. Philadelphia should be able to rack up the hits, and push some runs across. They could even knock Peterson out of this game early. If they do that, the Phillies will cover the spread.

Final Mets-Phillies Prediction & Pick

This is a game that favors the Phillies. That is exactly who I will take to win, as well. I think the Phillies will cover the spread, and put up a lot of runs.

Final Mets-Phillies Prediction & Pick: Phillies -1.5 (+125), Over 8.5 (-108)
