New York Mets vs Philadelphia Phillies best bet: Over 7.5 (-115)'
The Mets are waiting until the very late stages of games to heat up their bats, but better late than never! And when the total is a modest 7.5, scoring in just a couple of innings can be enough to get the job. It has been an absolutely absurd week for New York, which clinched a wild-card spot with an 8-7 victory over the Atlanta Braves before beating the Milwaukee Brewers in the first round thanks to a 4-spot in the ninth inning of Game 3 after trailing 2-0. The Mets trailed Philadelphia 1-0 going into the eighth on Saturday and ended up winning 6-2. I think their offense can stay hot since it will be facing Christopher Sanchez instead of Zack Wheeler in Game 2. The visitors are countering with Luis Severino, who has surrendered at least 3 earned runs in 4 consecutive starts – 2 of those coming against none other than the Phillies. Philly was rusty in the series opener, but it won't be in Game 2. Give me the over.'
