Free Betting Pick: Philadelphia Phillies -130
The Philadelphia Phillies hold a big pitching advantage in this game as Jake Arrieta has been stellar through his first few starts of 2019. The New York Mets have been solid through the early going of the season, but I think the bats of the Phillies will be too much for Zack Wheeler. Bryce Harper, Rhys Hoskins, and Maikel Franco form one of the best trios in the National League, and I think they should find success on their home field. The Mets have talent in their batting lineup, but it won’t be enough to win on the road against a great pitcher. Final Score Prediction, Philadelphia Phillies win 5-2.
