Saturday’s game has all the makings of a pitchers’ duel between two of the top ball-throwers in the league in Nola and deGrom. Nola's low fastball has been a problem for every hitter he's faced, and while deGrom's making only his third start of the year, he seemingly hasn't missed a beat.'
Both the Phillies and Mets have won eight of their 10 last games as the two hottest teams in the NL East. The Mets have been one of the best of the best all year, with the second-best record in the NL. The Phillies offense has been hot and cold this year, but is currently riding a high, with the best OPS in the league in August at 1.091.'
Here are my MLB picks and predictions for Saturday night's game between the Phillies and Mets (odds via FanDuel Sportsbook, BetMGM, and DraftKings Sportsbook; pick confidence based on a 1-to-5 scale).
