I'm riding with David Pederson. Mets are 14-5 in his starts, Mets jockeying for playoff positioning unlike the Phils and Pederson was unreal vs Philly last week - 7 2/3 allowing 4 H and 1 ER. He has a 2.22 ERA in his 9 starts since 8/1 and Mets have won 6 of his last 7 starts at home. Mets getting heroic ABs when they need it most and the momentum continues

Maybe just keep riding the Mets? This looks like September of 1969 all over again, as NY has now won 16 of 20 to vault into one of the NL wild card spots and about ready to blow past Arizona and move into the fifth playoff slot. David Peterson also has been a solid option on the mound, with a 2.22 ERA since the start of August, and the Mets recently having uncorked six straight wins during games in which he started. Meanwhile, though Christopher Sanchez has been effective in recent starts for the Phils, his road numbers have been far worse than his home numbers all season, with his away marks featuring an ERA at 5.13 and 3-6 record. Play Mets on Money Line

The New York Mets set a franchise record yesterday with three straight games of double digit runs. I expect that to finally cool off as we get Christopher Sanchez on the mound for the Phillies, and David Peterson for the Mets. This was the pitching matchup this past Sunday that produced three combined runs, the lowest output through eleven games in the series this season. Take the under here.

David Peterson is in then midst of a career season and has been sensational atop the Mets pitching rotation. Peterson possesses a career best 2.85 ERA and has piled up an impressive record of 9-2. That being said, Peterson is pitching above his head and looks like a major regression candidate. Peterson's expected ERA is 4.75 and his strikeouts are down. He will be facing an elite Phillies lineup for the second time in the last five days and Peterson went 7.2 IP, while surrendering only 4 hits. The Phillies hit opposing lefties as well as any lineup in the league and blanking them twice is a tall order.
