Philadelphia at New York

The Mets are finally cashing in on rebuilding the team and have opened the season at 29-17. It is a team that is in large part pitching contingent, and the exceptional pitching has suffered over their last five games allowing nine-plus runs in three of them. They come back home having dropped two straight. Philadelphia has played better in recent games, winning three of their last five, and the offense has generated four runs or more in their last six and might be able to take advantage of the Mets' recent pitching woes. Carols Carrasco lost his last home start, 8-7, and he could be vulnerable here as the Mets' pitching is struggling. Make the play on Philadelphia.
