New York Mets DFS Spin
Mets right fielder Starling Marte had a solid day at the plate in his team’s 7-2 loss to the Phillies on Saturday. In that contest, the 35-year-old right-handed hitter went 2 for 4 with a double and an RBI. He was one of four Mets players to record an extra-base hit in the defeat. For the season, Marte is hitting .280 with 6 homers, 26 RBIs, 32 runs scored, and 10 stolen bases. Marte has an OPS of .750 this year. He could be worth a look in DFS as a value play on Sunday.
Philadelphia Phillies DFS Spin
Phillies shortstop Edmundo Sosa only had 1 hit on Saturday, but he made it count. The 28-year-old from Panama went 1 for 4 with a go-ahead RBI single in the 4th inning of his team’s 7-2 win over the Mets. Sosa is quietly having a breakout season. The right-handed batter is slashing .292/.353/.528 with 5 doubles, 4 triples, 4 homers, 17 RBIs, 20 runs scored, and 2 stolen bases this season. He is crushing lefties this year (.326 batting average, 1.129 OPS in 43 at-bats) so he could have some DFS value against Mets southpaw starter Jose Quintana in Game 2 of this series.

Mets vs. Phillies Betting Prediction
The Phillies continued to play well in their 7-2 win over the Mets in London on Saturday. That victory was Philadelphia’s fourth straight win and their seventh win in their past 8 games. For the season, the Phillies have the best run differential in the National League at +109 and they have scored more runs than any team in baseball this season with 327. In order to beat Philadelphia, opposing teams have to play near-perfect baseball. I don’t think New York will be able to do that on Sunday. While there’s some value in taking the under at 10.5 runs, and the Phillies run line at +134 looks enticing, I’ll take Philadelphia on the money line in the second and final game of the London Series on Sunday.
