Phillies vs. Mets Best Bets

Saturday, August 13, 2022 - 1:05PM ET

PICK: Zack Wheeler Over 18.5 Outs (+105)

The Philadelphia Phillies host the New York Mets in a day/night doubleheader today at Citizens Bank Park, and hat makes this a good time to get in on our exclusive BetMGM offer ➡️ here ⬅️ where you get $20 free and a risk-free bet up to $1,000 if you're a new customer.

New York took Game 1 of this 4 game series last night by a 7-2 score. Aaron Nola got the start for the Phillies and he only went 5 innings.

Philly used 3 relievers to close out the game which leads me to this play on Zack Wheeler. Zack has been exceptional at home where he is 11-6 with a 1.57 ERA and a 0.84 WHIP with an oBA of .184.

He has hit this outs prop in 6 of his last 10 games overall. The Mets present a very tough matchup as they are 2nd in wRC+ vs RHPs this season.

Wheeler has had 3 starts against New York this season with performances of 14 outs and 18 twice.

With the doubleheader on deck today and the rather short outing from Nola last night, Wheeler should have a longer leash in the opener of the twin bill.

Philadelphia needs a good start from him and the Ace should be up to the task. This is worth the price of +105.
