Why Bet The Phillies vs Mets Game: Philadelphia 13-41 in Road Games After Loss
You may want to think good and hard about placing a bet on Saturday evening’s Phillies vs. Mets game after offering up one very interesting set of trends.
The home team has won six of the last seven games in this series, which helps to further bolster the value of this impressive trend: Philadelphia is 13-41 in road games after a loss over the last 2 seasons. The Phillies are just 1-7 in their last 8 games vs. a starter with a WHIP less than 1.15.
The price is steep at -175 but might be worth it with RH Bartolo Colon starting for the Mets although the UNDER 7.5 might be the better bet.
Phillies RH Vince Velasquez has, after all, held lefties to a .214 average and limited opponents to a .240 average while Ryan Howard is just 5-for-24 with two homers against Colon. He and Darin Ruff are the only current Phillies hitters who have hit homeruns off of Colon.
