The Mets are coming into this game with a 3-1 record overall and they are 3-1 in their road games this season where they will be in this game. They have won 3 of their last 4 games and are coming into this one off of a loss in their last game which snapped a 3 game winning streak that they were on. They just won their 4-game series against the Washington Nationals 3-1 and they are starting a 3-game series with the Phillies on Monday night. This will be the 2nd game of the series on Tuesday night with the series opener still to be played on Monday night. Taijuan Walker is the starting pitcher for them on Monday while Tylor Megill will be on the mound for them here on Tuesday. He is 1-0 with a 0.00 ERA to start this season. His team won their last game with him as the starter. In his last start, he allowed 0 ER, 0 being HRs, and 0 BB with 6 Ks on 3 hits through 5 IP against the Washington Nationals. They scored 19 runs in their last series averaging just under 5 runs scored per game in that span and they allowed 8 runs against them averaging 2 runs allowed per game.

 

The Phillies are coming into this game with a 2-1 record overall and they are 2-1 in their home games this season where they will be in this game. They have won 2 of their last 3 games and are coming into this one off of a loss in their last game which snapped a 2 game winning streak that they were on. They just won their 3-game series against the Oakland Athletics 2-1 and they are starting a 3-game series with the Mets on Monday night. This will be the 2nd game of the series on Tuesday night with the series opener still to be played on Monday night. Ranger Suárez is the starting pitcher for them on Monday while Zack Wheeler will be on the mound for them here on Tuesday. Last season, he was 14-10 with a 2.78 ERA. His team has won 5 of their last 6 games with him as the starter. In his last start, he allowed 2 earned runs, 0 homers, and 1 BB with 7 strikeouts on 4 hits through 7 innings played against the Atlanta Braves. They scored 14 runs in their last series averaging 4.5 runs scored per game in that span and they allowed 11 runs against them averaging just under 4 runs allowed per game.

 

The Phillies are coming into this game as a favorite with the current betting odds. Both of these teams won their opening series and have been playing well recently but the pitching advantage goes to the Phillies in this game and that just might be the difference here. Wheeler is coming off of a great season last year and he will want to pitch very well against his old team here, giving him more motivation to play his best in this game. The Mets have Megill on the mound who has already pitched in a game this season and he did pitch well but he likely will not recreate that performance in this game. The Mets have a very good team this season but they struggled to bring runs in on Sunday and that could carry over a little into this series and this is not the matchup they want to have if their bats go cold. The best bet to place on this game is on the Phillies to win here.
