Rotation # 953
Phillies +130 over Mets
Walker/McLean
The Phillies have lost nine straight at Shea Stadium and will try to avoid the sweep. Phillies starter Taijuan Walker has a significant experience edge over Mets starter Nolan McLean, who has pitched just 12 big league innings. The Phillies, as a decent-sized underdog, have great value. Philly has been hitting the ball well and on fire offensively since the All-Star break. Look for the Phillies to get back in the winner’s circle. Take the Phillies.Comment
