Philadelphia Phillies vs New York Mets Prediction, Odds and Picks for Today, 08/27/25

The Phillies are looking to avoid a sweep at the hands of the Mets when the NL East rivals meet on Wednesday evening. Despite dropping the first 2 games of this series, the Phillies could have the advantage in the finale. Philadelphia has lost 3 games in a row just once since the start of July. They’ve been incredibly consistent and have a done good job of avoiding prolonged losing skids. They’ll send Taijuan Walker to the mound to face his former team. The veteran right-hander has been great since returning to the rotation after spending a month or so coming out of the bullpen. So far in August, Walker owns a strong 2.28 ERA through 4 starts and 23.2 innings.

New York’s Nolan McLean will be making his third MLB start in this one. The first 2 have gone well, as he’s allowed just 6 hits and 2 earned runs over 12.1 innings against the Mariners and Braves. However, Philadelphia’s veteran lineup is capable of giving him some issues. The Phillies’ team OPS of .794 in August is good for fourth in the league. They had 11 hits in last night’s contest, and should be able to put together strong at-bats together against McLean. Look for Philadelphia to avoid the sweep.
