The Philadelphia Phillies (62-49) and New York Mets (73-39) meet Friday at 7:10 p.m. ET to open a 3-game NL East series at Citi Field. Let’s analyze Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the Phillies at Mets odds with MLB picks and predictions.
Season series: New York leads 9-3. The Mets have won 4 in a row from the Phils dating back to May 8.
The Phillies head north off a 6-1 home stand. Since July 27, Philadelphia pitching has dealt out a 3.37 ERA. The club has gone 12-2 over that stretch. One thing to keep an eye on, though, OF Kyle Schwarber left Thursday’s game with a calf issue. He’s likely questionable for this one.
The Mets have ace RHP Max Scherzer on the hill, and they’re 8-2 and 15-5 over their last 10 and 20 games, respectively. They are getting healthy at the right time.
