With last night’s 4-0 shutout of the 19-22 New York Mets at Citi Field, the Philadelphia Phillies notched their 30th win which is the best in baseball and are 22-5 over their last 27. Tonight the series continues but the venue switches to the Phillies’ turf, Citizens Bank Park. The Phillies show no signs of slowing down and are expected to have their ace and the best pitcher in the majors on the bump, southpaw Ranger Suárez . He is a perfect 7-0 with an ERA of only 1.50 and a 0.72 WHIP, It doesn’t get much better than that. The Mets have yet to confirm a starter but it could be Adrian Houser, who is winless at 0-3 with a bloated ERA of 7.67. The Phillies have won 3 straight against the Mets and 8 of the last 10. They are also 8-0 in Suárez’s last 8 starts against a team with a losing record and 6-0 in his last 6 starts against the NL East. Philadelphia is the side to consider here.
TONIGHT’S PICK: PHILADELPHIA PHILLIES
