Phillies vs Mets: Pitching preview
Aaron Nola (14-8, 3.57 ERA) vs Sean Manaea (12-6, 3.47 ERA)
It’s Nola day in New York. The longtime Phillie ended his season on a high, giving up just 6 runs in his last 18 innings pitched (3 games). He’s also struck out 7+ in 4 of his last 5 starts. If Nola can stay hot, then the Mets are going to need something special to put some runs on the board. For his career, Aaron Nola is 10-9 against the Mets, sporting an ERA of 3.46.
The decision to ride with Kodai Senga in game 1 proved to be profitable for the Mets. It allowed them to keep Mannea in their back pocket for a game 3 clash with Aaron Nola, to at least try and level the playing field. Mannaea actually faced the Phils in late September, going 7 innings and giving up just 3 runs and hits, although 2 were homers. He’s been as consistent as you like this season. In fact, Manaea has only allowed 5+ runs on 2 occasions in his last 17 games. The Phillies will have their work cut out for them this evening.
Phillies vs Mets: Betting preview
Sunday’s win might have injected a bolt of confidence into this Phillies team. Their 10 hits recorded were the most since their series finale against the Cubs back on September 25th. They face a tough pitcher in Manaea, but with the power potentially restored to the lineup, a statement win feels likely with confidence now high.
Betting pick: Phillies -115
Prop bet fun
Our Bryce Harper home run prop at +310 cashed on Sunday, and today we’re going for two in a row. I like Nola to record 6 strikeouts here. The Mets are the second-worst team in the postseason in terms of K’s and Zack Wheeler lit them up in game 1. I think Nola can build on that here.
