Philadelphia Phillies @ New York Mets:
New York Mets (to win) /// 1.91
Last bet won. Philadelphia has been destroyed! Absolutely ruthless! New York at the score of 6-0 completely relaxed, after which the Phillies were able to play a little bit in the offense and even scored 2 runs. But it happened in the 8th inning, and the Mets ended this game fairly safely after replacing the back-up pitcher. My betting score is NBA 94-111 in favor of unsuccessful, MLB 95-88 in favor of successful, NHL 2-5 in favor of unsuccessful, NFL+NCAAF 3-9 in favor of unsuccessful.
New bet: New York Mets at home will beat Philadelphia Phillies in the 4th game of the series. Strange to see the Mets as an underdog again according to the bookies. And this is despite the fact that for Philadelphia will play a more unreliable starting pitcher than Aaron Nola. Yes, I'm talking about Ranger Suarez, who has completely failed in July (his ERA this month was “6.61”), August (his ERA this month was “5.00”) and September (his ERA this month was “6.04”). Over that period he played 10 games and failed in 8, getting an average 1 run in 1.49 innings. Meanwhile, Ranger Suarez was able to cover more than 5 innings only in a game against Oakland Athletics, but also got 4 runs. And Ranger Suarez ended the regular season with a game against Washington, where he got 7 hits and 6 runs in 2 innings. Jose Quintana will be the starting pitcher for New York. This is the same pitching machine who covered 6 innings and got 0 runs in the 3rd game of the series against Milwaukee (yes, in that game when Pete Alonso hit a home run in the 9th inning). Jose Quintana had an incredible September, in which he finished with an ERA “0.72” (and he has played against Philadelphia this month and got 3 hits and 0 runs in 7 innings)! Jose Quintana also has a current streak of 4 straight wins in recent games against Philadelphia. The 4th game of the series is basically the only real chance for the Mets to win this series against the Phillies, because if they lose, Philadelphia will have their most reliable starting pitcher - Zack Wheeler (his ERA this season is “2.57”) in the 5th game of the series. That's a completely different level. I don't know, maybe the bookies will make lower odds on the Mets win in the 4th game of the series, as expecting from Ranger Suarez 6-7 innings and at least 1-2 runs is very brave. And Philadelphia's offense plays with very low efficiency, especially in road games. And yes, it was already clear in the second half of the regular season that the Phillies are, once again, not a Postseason contender. Bet? Sure!
