This is an 8* on OVER

We are looking to avenge one of the two losses we’ve suffered over the last five days (12-2 overall run). We had the Over in the first game between the Mets and Phillies, which saw the latter win 4-2 to take over first place in the NL East. In that game, the Mets were 1 for 8 with runners in scoring position. They were no better in that situation last night, going 0 for 5, and they didn’t even score a run until the ninth inning. It was a 5-3 loss this time. The Phillies have won seven in a row. They scored four of their runs in one big inning last night. We’d seen plenty of offense from them before this series got underway as they had scored 43 runs in five games. We think it is likely that they will have their highest scoring effort of this series today. They face Taijuan Walker, whose last six starts have all gone Over for the Mets. The last four have seen Walker pitch poorly. He’s given up 21 runs in his last 15 innings. Not good. For the Phillies, Zack Wheeler has allowed four or more runs in three of his last five starts. The teams are somewhat due to play a high-scoring game. Mets’ road games are definitely higher scoring than their home games. Play on OVER
