This is a 10* play on the METS

The Mets are going for the sweep here and we like them to pull it off behind recent addition Marcus Stroman. Since coming over from Toronto, Stroman has started five times for his new team. The Mets have won four of those games, the lone loss coming his last start, which was against the Cubs. Pitching against these weaker National League lineups should certainly benefit Stroman after he used to have to regularly go up against the likes of the Yankees and Red Sox. Three career starts against the Phillies have brought 1.86 ERA for Stroman. The Phillies are 25-25 their last 50 games, but have not had a win streak of more than two games during that time. We don't like Zach Eflin starting in this spot. Before emerging victorious on August 24th (his last start), he'd gone 0-4 with an 8.42 ERA in 10 appearances. The Mets are Eflin's most common opponent (nine career starts) and he has a 6.00 ERA. Eflin's last two starts at home were both terrible as he lasted a combined 6 1/3 innings and allowed 10 runs in one of them. We've been waiting for the Mets to pass the Phillies into third place in the NL East and that finally happens tonight. Play on NY METS
