Philadelphia Phillies vs New York Mets Prediction, Odds and Picks for Today, 08/26/25

After jumping out to an early 3-0 lead, the Mets’ offense exploded, putting up 13 runs over the last five innings of the game. The Phillies currently hold a six-game lead in the NL East, and this is a series they’re looking to win as they try to keep their division rivals out of the playoff race. The Mets bats have been red-hot as of late, averaging  7.1 runs per game over their last 10, while the Phillies are slightly behind, averaging 6.2 runs per game. 

Taking the mound for the Phillies will be the left-hander Jesus Luzardo, who enters with a 12-6 record and 4.10 ERA. Luzardo has had his ups and downs this season, but it looks like he’s found his groove again, going 4-1 with a 2.32 ERA and has struck out 34 batters in his last 31 innings pitched. For the Mets, Sean Manaea will get the start, entering with a 1-2 record and 5.15 ERA. Manaea started this season off strong, but has struggled lately, going 0-1 with a 7.91 ERA in his last four starts. Luzardo has already picked up one victory against the Mets this year, and I think the Phillies will rebound in a big way against the Mets tonight, making them my best bet of the day.
