Game Preview

Harrison Bader smiled Sunday as the New York Mets wrapped up an unforgettable road trip filled with thrilling moments.

“We’re having a blast, especially after two weeks on the road," Bader remarked. "It feels like a traveling circus.”

The Mets return home Tuesday to face the Philadelphia Phillies in Game 3 of the National League Division Series, aiming to capitalize on their recent momentum. Left-hander Sean Manaea (12-6, 3.47 ERA) will take the mound for New York against Philadelphia’s right-hander Aaron Nola (14-8, 3.57 ERA).

After evening the series with a dramatic 7-6 victory on Sunday, highlighted by Nick Castellanos’ walk-off single, the Phillies are looking to seize control.

This series has been a rollercoaster for the Mets, who have traveled over 2,500 miles, battled extreme weather, and delivered two of the most dramatic wins in recent history, including a wild-card berth clinched on September 30. That game featured a game-winning homer from Francisco Lindor against the Braves.

With the stakes high, the Mets have shown resilience, coming back from a 3-0 deficit in their last game against the Phillies. As they head into Game 3, bettors should watch for the unpredictable nature of playoff hockey, where every point matters and momentum can swing in an instant.

Both teams have proven they can handle the pressure. The Mets’ manager, Carlos Mendoza, said, “You could write a book about this week — the ups and downs have been incredible.”

Meanwhile, the Phillies are no strangers to the postseason’s highs and lows, having made the World Series as a sixth seed in 2022. Trea Turner expressed the challenges of playoff pressure, stating, "You can’t see the light at the end of the tunnel, but then things change quickly."

As Game 3 approaches, keep an eye on Manaea and Nola’s performances, as they’ll be pivotal in shaping the series and could greatly influence betting lines. Manaea is looking for his first playoff victory, while Nola aims to solidify his reputation in crucial matchups against the Mets, setting the stage for an exciting game.
