Current Mets batters have slashed their way to a robust .310/.367/.462 line against Arrieta.

Money line (ML)

The Mets (-119) can’t get out of their own way sometimes, but they’re better than a .447 club. New York ranks is tied for sixth in scoring at 5.0 runs per game and the team is above water in the run differential department. A 4-9 mark in one-run games has been a major culprit in a disappointing slog through a shortened season.

Likewise, Porcello has been snake bit by a .390 BABIP and a 56.8% left-on-base rate. He’s not exactly Tom Seaver, but he’s not a 6-ERA guy either.

Take the METS (-119) at a nice price. Its one I’d expect to go up, so timing could be important.

New to sports betting? A winning $100 bet on New York returns a profit of $84.03, while a $100 wager on Philadelphia (+105) nets a profit of $105 for a Phillies’ win.

Run line/Against the spread (ATS)

Avoid the Mets -1.5 (+125) tag. The money line number has more apples-to-apples value for the straight win.

Over/Under (O/U)

Cooled-off, dry weather chips away at the hitter-friendly effects of Citizens Bank Park. Peg Mets pitching as being undervalued, and that gets us to a lean on the UNDER 9.5 (-110).

Prediction

Phillies 4, Mets 2

Moneyline (ML)

Take the PHILLIES (-118) while they try to split the four-game series in New York. The Mets (+105) are slight underdogs despite winning Saturday and Sunday’s games by scores of 5-1 and 14-1, respectively, but the Phillies won Friday’s series opener 5-3.

Philadelphia leads the season series 4-2 and looks to get back on track before Tuesday’s doubleheader against the Boston Red Sox. The Phillies have still won 10 of their last 13 games to sit second in the division. The Mets have won four of five after a five-game losing streak.

New to sports betting? A $10 bet on the Phillies (-118) to win returns a profit of $8.47.

Run line/Against the spread (ATS)

Double down on the PHILLIES -1.5 (+125) with the run line as Wheeler starts against his former club for the first time.

Each of his four wins this season has been by a multi-run margin and the Phillies have a fifth win by 3 runs in a game he started and went 5 2/3 innings but took a no-decision.

Over/Under (O/U)

Go with the UNDER 9 (-110). Expect Wheeler to go deep into the game and spare the Phillies’ lowly bullpen. Peterson has also been pitching very well in his first MLB season and will keep this one close until Philadelphia tacks on some late runs.

Mets at Phillies: Projected starting pitchers

Prediction

Phillies 8, Mets 2

Moneyline (ML)

The PHILLIES (-162) have a huge edge in the starting pitching matchup with regular Cy Young contender Nola on the mound against Matz. Both bullpens rank in the bottom 10 of MLB by ERA, but Nola is much likelier to pitch deep into the game and give his team the chance to win.

The Phillies won Friday’s series opener 6-5 and went 12-7 against the Mets (+145) last season. Take the PHILLIES (-162) to win outright, and expect it to happen in rather convincing fashion.

Run line/Against the spread (ATS)

The combination of a Matz start and a Mets bullpen with a 4.83 ERA doesn’t bode well for the visitors in this NL East contest.

Philly also ranks fourth in baseball with a .890 team OPS against left-handed pitching this season, so back the PHILLIES -1.5 (+125) on the alternate line for a more profitable play. Nola’s a good bet to get deep into the game in his home park and limit any damage his bullpen could do.

Over/Under (O/U)

Take the OVER 9 (-110) on a low total. Game 1 of this series saw the teams combine for 11 runs and Matz has given up 13 earned runs himself over his last two starts.

The New York Mets (9-11) open a three-game series against the Philadelphia Phillies (5-9) Friday night. First pitch is set for 7:05 p.m. ET at Citizens Bank Park. We analyze the Mets-Phillies betting odds and lines, with MLB picks and best bets.

Mets at Phillies: Projected starting pitchers

RHP Jacob deGrom vs. RHP Spencer Howard

Through four starts in 2020, deGrom has been lights out once again. He boasts a 2.45 ERA in 22 innings, along with 28 strikeouts (11.5 K/9).

He has made seven career starts at Citizens Bank Park, where he has posted a 2.43 ERA and 0.98 WHIP, with 44 strikeouts in 40 2/3 innings.
He has had great success against the Phillies recently. In four starts over the past two seasons, deGrom has pitched a total of 25 innings against them, and has allowed just two earned runs (0.72 ERA).

Howard made his major league debut against the Atlanta Braves Sunday. He lasted 4 2/3 innings, allowing seven hits (including two homers) and whiffing four batters.

He made 15 starts across three levels of the minors in 2019, during which time he recorded a 2.03 ERA and 94 strikeouts in 71 innings (11.9 K/9).
In a normal season, Howard would have spent part of the season in the minors, as he entered the year with just six starts (and 30 2/3 innings) above Single-A. That was with Class Double-A Reading, where he posted a 2.35 ERA and 11.2 K/9.

Prediction

Mets 5, Phillies 2

Moneyline (ML)

The METS (-200) are pretty heavy favorites in this contest with their ace deGrom on the mound. He hasn’t allowed more than two runs in a start this season, after ending last year with just one total run allowed in his final four starts. Even in a hitter-friendly park, the Philadelphia offense will have a tough time getting anything going.

Howard, meanwhile, is considered one of the top pitching prospects in the game, but there are going to be some bumps in the road, given his lack of experience in the upper levels of the minors. The Mets offense has scored 19 runs in the past two games, and while they won’t stay that hot, they should do enough today to pull off the victory. Take the METS (-200).

New to sports betting? A $10 bet on the Mets to win returns a profit of $5.

Run line/Against the spread (ATS)

The Mets are -2 (+100) on the run line, while the Phillies enter the contest at +2 (-121). The Mets should win the game, but counting on them to win by more than two runs is a risky investment. Take it down to METS -1.5 (-125) on the alternate line or just PASS on the run line.

Over/Under (O/U)

The Under has hit in 12 of 20 games for the Mets this year, and in two of the four games started by deGrom. He has been dominant so far, and should be able to keep the Phillies bats quiet.

Howard is still a wildcard and isn’t likely to be a dominant starter right away. Chances are, he’ll avoid disaster in this one, and help keep the total UNDER 8.5 (-110).
