Mets vs. Phillies prediction: MLB odds, picks, best bets Thursday

If you enjoyed the halftime show in Philly as much as I did, you can’t wait for the second half to begin.So much to look forward to.

So many questions that need to be answered.Will the Dodgers three-peat? Can the Yankees run down the Rays? Will the Blue Jays make a run and play in the postseason? Will the Padres and Tigers? Will Tarik Skubal be traded? Will Aaron Judge play again? Can the White Sox continue to defy the odds and win the AL Central?Will the Royals win 50 games? Will Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce make it through the first year? Will Stitches erase his debt and finish in the black again?Seems MLB has given us one game to focus on.The Mets are in Philly.

Aaron Nola throws for the home team.Nola has given up 12 runs on 18 hits over his last 16 1/3 innings and hasn’t won a game since May 26.

The Metamucils’ Christian Scott shut out the Royals for five frames, scattering three hits.What better way to start than to play $50 on the Mets? Down -269 kranepools.The one and only Stitches has been handicapping baseball, daily, for the Post since 2019.

Miraculously, he has finished in the black twice.But wait there’s more.

He showed his versatility by winning the Post’s NFL Best Bet crown last year....
