Philadelphia Phillies vs New York Mets Prediction, Odds and Picks for Today, 10/08/24

The National League takes the stage on Tuesday, and they get started in Queens at 5:00. We have your Philadelphia Phillies vs New York Mets prediction in this critical game 3. After splitting the first two games in Philadelphia, grabbing the 3rd game is crucial, as the winner of Game 3 usually goes on to win a 5-game series. With two veteran pitchers taking the mound, the books have this one as a near dead heat. For me, I like the Phillies a bit more. The Mets have been hot, but losing the way they did on Sunday is tough. My Phillies vs Mets pick is the Phillies on the money line.

Aaron Nola got hit hard by the Mets a month ago, giving up 6 runs and failing to get through the 5th innings. Still, I trust Nola and his vast postseason experience in the big moments. Sean Manaea pitched well for the Mets in his last start against the Phillies, but he was knocked around by the Brewers in the wildcard round. The Phillies were near the top of baseball against left-handed pitching this year, and I think we could be into this Mets bullpen early on Tuesday. That bullpen, by the way, is one that I do not trust. Edwin Diaz knows how to blow a save with the best of them, but I don’t think the Mets will get to that situation on Tuesday. Give me the Phillies to both hit and pitch their way to a win in a critical game 3.
