Phillies Money Line -162
The Phillies are looking to wrap up the top wildcard spot, while the Mets are looking to put a wrap on this season. Taijuan Walker has been up and down this year, but in his last 15 starts, he has a 4.18 ERA. In Tylor Megill’s last 15 starts, he has a 5.45 ERA. On the road, he’s been even worse. He has a 7.09 ERA in road starts this year. He also has averaged less than 5 innings pitched in road starts this year. More bullpen arms being used by the Mets is a recipe for disaster. The Mets have had a brutal bullpen all year. Look for the Phillies to capitalize on a familiar foe and take another game in this series.
