The Philadelphia Phillies look to even the Division Series with the New York Mets when they host their division rivals in Game 2 on Sunday afternoon. Both teams remain mid-tier contenders in the World Series odds, as does Phillies slugger Bryce Harper in the World Series MVP odds.
- The Mets are the third team to win back-to-back playoff games after trailing in the eighth inning or later
- New York and Philadelphia have now split their 14 head-to-head meetings this year
- The Phillies have never won a playoff series after losing Game 1
Our Mets vs. Phillies prediction expects the favorites to take Game 2 after getting to New York's starting pitcher early.
Mets vs. Phillies predictions: Game 2
- Moneyline pick: Phillies (-154 via FanDuel) ????
- Bryce Harper player prop bet: Harper Over 0.5 RBIs (+135 via BetMGM) ???

The Mets have to love the spot they're in now, as the club will head to Citi Field for Game 3 with no worse than a split of the first two games.
New York will trot out Luis Severino to start Game 2, and the righty has been tabbed to pitch two of the team's most important games lately (the first contest of their last regular-season series against the Atlanta Braves, and Game 1 of the Wild Card series against the Milwaukee Brewers). However, Severino has been lit up for eight runs in 10 combined innings across those two starts, bringing his overall postseason record to 2-4 with a troubling 5.07 ERA in 12 appearances (11 starts).
The Mets are just 5-7 in Severino's last 12 starts, and the Phillies scored six runs apiece in the two games Severino started against them within the last three weeks.
I also expect Cristopher Sanchez to lead Philadelphia to a win in this pressure spot, especial ly since the Phillies are 6-0 the last six times he's toed the rubber, with two wins over the Mets by a combined 12-3 in that span.
All of the best sports betting sites are aligned with either -154 or -155 moneyline odds to back the favorites. So I'm heading to FanDuel to bet on Philadelphia, where a winning $10 wager would pay out $16.49.

Severino has allowed three-plus runs in four consecutive starts, and that had me scouring Philadelphia's batter player prop odds.
Harper is 2-for-5 hitting with two home runs against Severino. And while I would not put anyone off backing his +320 odds to hit a home run at either bet365 or BetMGM, the +135 odds for him to drive in a run are a great value. He slashed .315/.394/.543 in September with 13 extra-base hits and 11 RBIs.
This is a three-star play, as Severino has issued multiple walks in 11 of his previous 16 starts, so there should be plenty of traffic on the basepaths for Harper's at-bats.
Harper is also due for positive regression from an RBI standpoint, as he's driven in a run during just one of the last nine games despite ranking in the 88th percentile in hard-hit rate and xSLG.
Best odds: +135 via BetMGM | Implied probability: 42.55%
