The New York Mets have come alive offensively after an early season slump. They have averaged 6.6 runs in their last five games while coming off an 11-1 win at Philadelphia last night. The Mets have hit an astonishing 10 home runs in the two games in this series while holding the Phillies to a total of three runs. Overall, the Mets have hit 17 homers their last five games. Ageless Bartolo Colon has allowed three runs in 12 2/3 innings this season and he is 7-2 against the Phillies the last three years and 9-4 in April. Jeremy Hellickson got lit up for five earned runs and seven hits in three innings his last start against Washington. The Phillies haven't scored more than three runs since April 10, so look for these trends to continue. Play the Mets to win by two.
