NY Mets vs Philadelphia Phillies Prediction

I’m going with the Mets. Megill is doing well over his last two Games, going 1-0 in that pair. He’s got a total of 12.0 innings in those two with zero earned runs on three hits and four walks. As for Wheeler, he’s 3-0 in his last trio with four earned over 19.0 innings total in that time. We should have a fun starter matchup (and a lower-scoring Game) here.

On Saturday the Mets got a nice offensive effort capped by a pair of home runs. The bullpen was solid as well, notching 2.0 clean frames, one hit no walks, and two Ks. I like New York to keep it rolling on Sunday.
