Mets Looking To Even Series vs Philadelphia
Top Two Teams In NL East, Who Gets The Job Done?
Although the Atlanta Braves are coming off a World Series title, it seems likely that the Philadelphia Phillies and the New York Mets are going to be the top two teams in the National League East this season.
Both teams made some incredible moves during the offseason, and it’s looking like those moves have paid off, although it is just the first week of the season.
Philadelphia walked away with a win in the first game of this series as they ended up beating the Mets 5-4 on Monday.

Mets Looking To Bounce Back
After starting the season winning three games in a row against the Washington Nationals, the New York Mets have now dropped their last two. They lost their last game of the series against Washington and also lost to the Philadelphia Phillies on Monday.
It’s to be expected that the Mets could struggle until Jacob deGrom returns. Because of the uncertainty in that part of the rotation, the Mets are going to have to throw some guys that probably won’t get many innings when he does return.
For the Mets, Tyler MeFill will be on the mound. He pitched in the first game of the season and went five innings with six strikeouts, and didn’t give up an earned run.
Phillies Starting Season On The Right Track
The question coming into the 2022 season with the Philadelphia Phillies is whether or not they can do enough on the mound to win games. If the first four games are any sort of indication… the Phillies have to feel confident.
Fortunately for Philadelphia, they’re going to have Zack Wheeler on the mound in this one. He has not pitched this season due to an extended rehab for a few extra days in spring training.
A season ago, the argument could be made that he was the best pitcher in baseball. He finished with a 14-10 record, a 2.78 ERA, and a 1.01 WHIP.

Mets vs Phillies Betting Lines
Mets vs Phillies Prediction
The current MLB lines have the Philadelphia Phillies as the favorite at -155 on the moneyline.
Considering the type of year that Zack Wheeler had a season ago and that he’s going to be on the mound in this one, it makes sense why they are the favorites.
Although they are the favorites, the best play is taking the New York Mets to win outright at +135. The biggest reason why the Mets should be able to walk away with this one is simple – the Phillies beating them twice in a row doesn’t necessarily seem likely in a midweek series early in the year.
New York is also on a two-game losing streak; it’s likely that they get back on track.
Factoring in that Wheeler is making his first start of the season after dealing with some nagging injuries throughout the offseason; taking the Mets to win outright just feels like a great play that will make money in the early part of the MLB season.
With as much talent as the New York Mets have, they should figure this thing out and be able to get back on track. When betting online, take the New York Mets.
