The set-up: I had a play on the Mets last night, but I think that the Phillies will bounce back here with their ace on the mound. Yes Philadelphia's bullpen stinks, but it gets a couple key sluggers back for this contest and I think that Aaron Nola is being severely undervalued in this spot. Nola would typically be a -180 favorite in this spot, but the weird abbreviated 2020 season has somewhat leveled the playing field it would seem this year. Seth Lugo has been great so far for the Mets, but he enters off a loss to the Jays, allowing three runs over five innings.

The pick: Both teams are fighting for a playoff spot, but I think this matchup highly favors the Phillies. Nola is 8-2 with a 3.00 ERA in 15 starts vs. the Mets lifetime and I look for him to improve on that win/loss record right here. Lay the short price!

This is a 10* DESTRUCTION on the Philadelphia Phillies.
