New York Mets DFS SPIN
Pete Alonso homered, doubled and drove in three runs as the Mets took down the Phillies 7-2 on Friday. Alonso finally got homer No. 30, though it took him 15 days after he hit his 29th. He also became the second player to reach the century mark in RBI this year, joining Aaron Judge at 102. Last year, he settled for 94 RBI, even though he had 37 homers in 152 games.
Philadelphia Phillies DFS SPIN
Alec Bohm went 0-for-4 against the Mets on Friday, leaving him at .206/.250/.286 in August. Bohm has gone six games without an RBI, nine games without a walk and 13 games without a homer. The Phillies could slide him back down in the lineup again until he warms up.

Mets vs. Phillies MLB BETTING PREDICTION
The Phillies have the edge in the pitching matchup this afternoon, as Zack Wheeler will oppose Trevor Williams. That said, the Mets have owned this series of late, winning three straight against the Phillies and eight of the last 10 meetings overall. In fact, the last two times the Mets faced the Phillies when Wheeler started, New York beat Philadelphia 5-4 on May 29 and 6-0 on August 14. The Mets are worth a play as the dogs today.
