Alonso gets Mets on the board first
Pete Alonso went 1-for-2 with two runs, two walks and a solo home run against the Phillies on Tuesday. Alonso’s home run was his third of this postseason, all of which have gone to the opposite field. Alonso started the scoring with a solo shot off Aaron Nola in the second inning. The Polar Bear is hitting .211 with a 1.069 OPS and six RBI in 19 at-bats this postseason.
Suárez to start Game 4 for Phils
Phillies manager Rob Thomson announced that Ranger Suárez will start Game 4 of the NLDS against the Mets. It will be a battle of left-hander with Suárez up against Jose Quintana. Suárez was one of the best pitchers in baseball over the few couple of months of the season but predictably settled in as just a solid depth piece in the rotation. He finishes with a 3.46 ERA in 27 starts but gives the Phillies a solid option in a crucial Game 4.

Phillies vs. Mets Game 4 MLB BETTING PREDICTION
Take New York. Jose Quintana has been filthy of late. Over his last five starts, he’s 4-1 with a microscopic 0.58 ERA. And it’s not as if he’s shorting the Mets innings; he’s averaging 6.0 innings of work per start over his last five outings. Over that span, he’s allowing an average of 3.8 hits and 0.4 runs. Quintana has been flat nasty.
Suarez, meanwhile, is 2-3 with a 6.04 ERA over his last five starts. He allowed six runs on seven hits in just two innings of work on September 27, which is the last time he pitched. Over that span, he’s allowing 6.2 hits per game and 3.0 runs. That said, he’s allowed at least three runs in three of his last four starts. One of those outings came against the Mets, in which Suarez allowed two runs on five hits in five innings. The Mets won, 6-3.
