Philadelphia Phillies vs New York Mets Prediction, Odds and Picks for Today, 08/25/25

I find Monday’s matchup between the Philadelphia Phillies and the New York Mets to be a highly intriguing game both from a betting perspective and a pure viewership perspective. This game and this series have potentially massive implications with both teams fighting for playoff positioning. The Phillies are looking to hold onto the 2nd seed in the National League in order to earn the first-round bye while the Mets are looking to fend off the Reds for the final wild card spot. An injury to Zack Wheeler has tabbed Cristopher Sanchez as the clear-cut ace of this Phillies rotation, and his performance has warranted that status with a 2.46 ERA in his first 25 starts.

Kodai Senga is set to start for the Mets, and the right-hander has posted a 2.58 ERA in his first 20 outings. Senga is one of the more reliable starters in the Mets rotation, and his upside is higher than others on his team. Still, Senga has allowed at least 1 home run in 6 straight outings, and this includes 4 earned runs with an additional unearned run allowed in his last outing. While still an above average starter, room for error is less when facing a tough Phillies team headlined by Cris Sanchez.
