**8-2/80% MLB RUN!** Phillies/Mets EARLY TOTAL!
(MLB) Phillies (PHI) vs. Mets (NYM),
Total: 7.50 | -118.00 Under
Result: Loss
This is an 8* EARLY TOTAL on the UNDER Phillies/Mets.

The Mets are two games up on the Braves for the final wildcard spot in the NL after yesterday's 12-2 loss. New York has seen the total go OVER in four straight now, but note that the Mets have still seen the total dip UNDER the number in eight of their last 12 after playing to three or more straight OVERS in a row.

Philadelphia has clinched a playoff berth with yesterday's win, but it can now clinch the NL East with a victory today.

In this pressure-packed situation for each club, I believe it's these starting pitchers that will step up and become the main focal point.

The visitors go with Ranger Suarez (12-7, 3.13 ERA), while the home side counters with Sean Manaea (11-5, 3.26.)

The overall situation, combined with the numbers/trends point to this being a classic "duel," so the play is the UNDER.

Good luck, NP
