Team Analysis
New York Mets
The Mets’ 2-3 record over their last five games shows uneven form, but their 6.6 RPG across the last 10 demonstrates real offensive potential. On the road, their 31-40 mark underlines inconsistency, yet their lineup anchored by Pete Alonso and Juan Soto continues to generate production that translates into betting value. With Francisco Lindor supplying timely hitting, this offense has the tools to outpace Philadelphia even in a lower-scoring contest.
New York Mets’ ability to control tempo has been evident in recent head-to-head success, where their bats have consistently broken through against Philadelphia pitching. Their pitching staff’s 3.93 ERA provides the stability needed to support a moneyline investment, especially when the bats are averaging nearly five runs per game over the last five contests. Despite road struggles, the Mets’ offensive ceiling gives them the sharper betting outlook heading into this matchup.
- Batting Average: 0.252
- Total Runs Scored: 682
- Home Runs: 195
- OBP: 0.33
- SLG: 0.432
- OPS: 0.762
- ERA: 3.93
- WHIP: 1.33
Away Record: 31-40 • Home Record: 45-27
Last 5 Games: 2-3 (4.8 RPG)
Last 10 Games: 4-6 (6.6 RPG)
Philadelphia Phillies
The Phillies have gone 3-2 in their last five games, but their 4.4 RPG output shows a modest offensive pace. While Kyle Schwarber’s power is undeniable, the lineup has leaned heavily on him without consistent secondary production. Playing at home where they are 45-23 provides stability, yet the Mets’ recent dominance in the series neutralizes that advantage.
Philadelphia Phillies’ 7-3 record over the last 10 reflects strong overall form, but their scoring profile points toward competitive but not explosive outings. Trea Turner’s contact hitting helps extend innings, while Bryce Harper adds balance, but the group has not consistently strung together high-scoring games against New York. With a 3.81 ERA, the Phillies’ staff keeps games tight, yet the matchup edge leans away from them given recent head-to-head outcomes.
- Batting Average: 0.258
- Total Runs Scored: 678
- Home Runs: 177
- OBP: 0.328
- SLG: 0.426
- OPS: 0.754

Away Record: 38-37 • Home Record: 45-23

Moneyline Betting Prediction
The Mets’ ability to generate runs at a higher clip in recent contests, combined with their 6–2 dominance in the last eight meetings, makes them the sharper side. Their offensive trio has consistently capitalized on Phillies pitching, and with tighter run prevention metrics, they hold the decisive moneyline edge.
Form and matchup edges favor the New York Mets — back them.
Over/Under Prediction
Recent five-game scoring: the Philadelphia Phillies are at 4.4 RPG and the New York Mets at 4.8 — a useful baseline against the total.
These teams are combining for 9.2 runs per game recently — right around the posted total of 9.0. That points toward the Under 9.0.
