The Mets travel to the Philadelphia to take on the Phillies Tuesday night. We will see the 2nd start from Tylor Megill this season, and the season debut of Zack Wheeler.
This game opens with the Phillies as -165 favorites on the ML while the Mets are +140 underdogs. The total is set at 8.5.
New York Mets
The Mets started off strong on Monday night, going up 3-0 in the first inning. They held a 4-0 lead after 7, before giving up 5 runs in the bottom of 8th and losing the game 5-4.
Tylor Megill makes his 2nd start of the season after being the opening day starter. Megill pitched well in that game picking up the win. He pitched 5 innings of 3 hit ball, giving up 0 earned runs. As a pitcher, he will come at you with a fastball 57% of the time; followed up by a changeup and slider each about 20% of the time.
On offense, Jeff McNeil and new comer Mark Canha have been hot to start this season. McNeil is 7-16 with a HR and 3 RBIs to start off his 2022 campaign. Think that’s good? Well, Mark Canha is 9-17 with 4 RBIs so far in this young season.
Philadelphia Phillies
The Phillies put together some late heroics in their comeback win Monday night. JT Realmuto hit a 2 run home run to tie the game in the bottom of the 8th. Didi Gregorius drove in the run that gave the Phillies a 5-4 lead which they would hold.
Zack Wheeler will make his season debut after his breakout 2021 season. Last year, he was 14-10 with a 2.78 ERA which made him runner up for the Cy Young Award.
Wheeler was dealing with an injury during spring training which pushed his 1st start of the season back a little bit. Sounds like Wheeler will throw around 65-70 pitches vs the Mets, which could easily get him into the 6th inning.
The big 4 in this lineup really haven’t started off this season to hot. MVP winner Bryce Harper, is off to 1-16 start with 8 strikeouts. Harper is notorious for starting of his April hot, so look for him to get back to that MVP form very soon. So far, Rhys Hoskins has been off to a good start batting 5-15 with a HR and 4 RBIs.

New York Mets vs. Philadelphia Phillies MLB Prediction:
This game should feature some high quality pitching vs strong lineups. Knowing that Wheeler is only going to pitch a max of 70 pitches, I want to make sure my bet covers when he is in the game. I will be taking the First Five Innings under on Tuesday night.
