New York at Philadelphia

The Mets took a flyer on Bartolo Colon, and he is starting to prove he still has something left in the tank. Colon has pitched great in his last two turns where he has allowed two runs total, covering 15.1 innings of work. Colon doesn't beat himself, as he has walked just seven hitters in over 64 innings. The Mets pen has been sharp of late as well, allowing nine runs in their last 43 innings of work. Philadelphia has skidded into last place in the NL East, by virtue of eight losses in their last 12 games, and they have been victimized at home in 18 of their 30 games here on the season. The Mets have taken advantage of poor home teams where they are now 7-1 in their last eight vs. a team with a losing home record. The Phillies are even worse at home vs. a team with a winning road record at just a woeful 6-15 in their last 21. The Mets have been lethal in this park where they are 18-6 in their last 24 here. Make the play on New York.
