New York at Philadelphia Prediction 09/19/2018
September is not a good time to slump when you are in the playoff race, but that is what the Phillies have done. In losing seven of their last 10 games, they have really hurt their playoff chances, which are now very slim. Things don't look better for them in this game facing Syndergaard. The Phillies did get him for four earned runs in his start before his last one, but they lost that game and in his previous start he shut down a Boston team that is the highest scoring team in the Majors. Eflin had a good last start but had a terrible one in his previous one in a loss to the Mets. Syndergaard will be solid and Eflin will not, which is why the Mets are the pick to take this game and win the series.
