Stephen Nover's MLB Thursday Bookie Basher
(MLB) NY Mets vs. Philadelphia,
Money Line: -133.00 Philadelphia (Home)
Result: Loss
The Phillies are 31-13, the best record in baseball. They are going for a four-game sweep of the Mets at home. Make room because I want to ride with them.

Philadelphia is 16-3 in its last 19 games, while the Mets are 1-8 in their last nine games if you discount two victories against the 18-25 Cardinals.

The pitching matchup also favors the Phillies with Taijuan Walker going against washed-up Jose Quintana, who has a 5.44 ERA and just gave up three homers to the Braves in five innings during his last start this past Friday.
