Sean Paul's Mets vs Phillies Best Bet
By Sean Paul
The Mets have owned the Phillies this year, recording a 7-2 record. New York has struggled with non-Philadelphia teams, which is why the Mets sit seven games behind the Phillies in the NL East standings.
While I think the Phillies are the better team from top to bottom, I can't ignore the Mets' success over their divisional foe. Plus, Nolan McLean over Aaron Nola is a major boost in the Mets' favor. I'll look to fade Nola at any point possible and back a scary good offense in the process.
Pick: Mets Moneyline (-120)

Derek Carty's Cubs vs Braves Pick
By Derek Carty
There may be some value on Ronald Acuna Jr.'s home runs prop. THE BAT X is projecting him to record 0.27 home runs, and oddsmakers are implying 0.19. The model believes there is a 23% chance he records at least one home run, so there is value on the over at +500.
