Philadelphia at New York

Philadelphia just can't seem to get on track this season and the Phillies may have overachieved with their second-half run in 2022. The Phillies have lost three in a row while being outscored 17-5 and they are 11-20 on the road. New York has won the first two games of this series after a 4-1 victory on Wednesday when Mark Canha hit a two-run homer and a two-run single and the Phillies left nine men on base. Now they have to face Max Scherzer, who has allowed only two runs on 11 hits his past three starts in 18 innings and the Mets won all three. Philadelphia hitters have a .194 batting average and .344 slugging percentage in 180 at-bats versus Scherzer, who has not given up a run at home this year in 11 innings pitched. Taijuan Walker has a 6.75 ERA and .311 opponent batting average on the road and New York has won seven of the past eight meetings. Take the Mets as a Max Play.
