Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing
As the Phillies gear up to host the Mets on July 16, all eyes will be on Carson Benge, who’s been struggling to find his groove at the plate lately. With a batting average hovering around .220 against right-handed pitchers, he’s been facing quite the uphill battle. The Mets' ace on the mound, who has dominated hitters, will likely add to Benge’s woes.
Recent trends favor the under, especially considering Benge’s last few games, where he’s managed just a handful of total bases. The Mets have also been stellar defensively, limiting opponents to minimal production. Given that Benge is projected to fall well short of the 1.5 total bases mark, taking the under here seems not only prudent but almost inevitable. In a matchup where every base matters, expect Benge to remain under the radar as the Phillies look to secure a win.
