This is a 10* BOOKIEKILLER on the Phillies.

The Mets have carried over their end-of-season surge into the playoffs, but I'm not counting out the Phillies in this series.

MLB would love to have this series go five games, and that's what I'm expecting here.

The Phillies earned a bye in the first round and have yet to hit their stride over the first two games really, but with their backs against the wall, I expect that to change here in this crucial spot.

We have two decent starters going head-to-head here in Ranger Suarez and Jose Quintana, who I'm going to call a "wash" for arguments sake.

Philly is 7-2 in its last nine in trying to avenge a road loss vs. an opponent.

In this do-or-die situation, with a chance to take this series back home, I look for Philadelphia to find a way to come up big here in Game 4.

A great situational BOOKIEKILLER play on the PHILLIES.

Good luck, NP
