New York Mets at Philadelphia Phillies Preview & Picks

Philadelphia are tipped to open this series with a comfortable victory.

The Phillies are the team in considerably better form, and starter Zach Wheeler has been delivering consistently for the home team.

  • Philadelphia Phillies are 8-2 in their last 10 games
  • New York Mets are on a 6-game losing run
  • Philadelphia pitcher Zach Wheeler is 7-2 with a 2.76 ERA
  • The Under cashed in 2 of the previous 3 meetings this season

Head To Head

  • Philadelphia Phillies lead the all-time series 556-531-1
  • New York Mets won 4-3 when the two teams last met on April 23

New York Mets Form

New York head to Philadelphia on a miserable run of form, having now lost six consecutive games.

The Mets were on a roll earlier this month as they won six straight games, sweeping Colorado on the road and Washington at home.

That run was ended by a 7-5 home defeat to Tampa Bay, and they have not been able to get back on track since then.

New York lost the final two games of that series with the Rays, 8-4 and 9-0, and saw their losing skid continue as they went out on the road.

The Mets began this six-game trip with a series in Atlanta, and they were swept by the Braves as they fell to 5-4, 5-0 and 7-1 defeats.

Philadelphia Phillies Form

Philadelphia return home on a strong run of form, having rebounded from a rough run in early June with eight wins in their previous 10 games.

The Phillies lost five straight earlier this month, before finally stopping the rot with a 4-3 victory over the Chicago Cubs.

They failed to follow that up as they lost the second meeting 4-3, but they did take the series finale, 7-2, and that sparked a five-game win streak.

Philadelphia swept Toronto at home with 8-0, 3-2 and 11-4 victories, before heading to Miami to beat the Marlins 8-3.

The Phillies dropped the second game of the series, 8-3, only to rebound with 4-2 and 2-1 wins over the Marlins.

Verdict

New York may top the division, but it is Philadelphia who are the much hotter hand at this time.

The Phillies are stacking up wins and starter Zach Wheeler has been a man in form, so we expect the Phillies to add to New York’s losing run.
