The Philadelphia Phillies’ playoff chances are still alive, but barely, so they will have to notch a win tonight when they host the New York Mets. The chances of that happening look good because Aaron Nola will be on the hill for Philadelphia. Nola is 16-5, with a 2.42 ERA and a WHIP of only 0.97. He will be opposed by the Metropolitan’s Steven Matz, who is 5-11, with a 4.18 ERA and a 1.24 WHIP. Nola has been lights out at home this year with a record of 9-2 and an ERA of 2.46, and he has four wins against the Mets this year. Consider the Phillies in this one.
TONIGHT’S PICK: PHILADELPHIA PHILLIES
