New York Mets vs. Philadelphia Phillies Prediction
I’m on the Phillies here. I just think that Luzardo’s the better option in this game, especially when you consider that he’s been much stronger at home and Peterson has been getting cranked in a lot of his recent outings. The Phillies are also in far better form right now and I think they add to the Mets’ misery with another W here. Give me the Phillies.
