Mets vs Phillies player prop picks
Zack Wheeler Over 6.5 strikeouts (-108)
Zack Wheeler has shown no signs of slowing down at age 36, still ranking in the 96th percentile in pitching run value and the 92nd percentile in chase rate.
The Philadelphia Phillies’ ace has victimized batters with his four-seamer forever, and that trend is holding steady in 2026. Wheeler has recorded 25 strikeouts thanks to his four-seam fastball, and that’s a pitch the New York Mets struggle against.
The Mets have the eighth-highest K rate when facing the four-seamer from a righty (23.1%), while their swinging strike rate vs. that pitch is the seventh-highest in MLB (9.8%).
I’d play this up to -120 tonight.
Kyle Schwarber Over 1.5 hits + runs + RBI (-130)
Kyle Schwarber had himself a game on Saturday with four hits, three homers, and six RBI. It was just another feather in the cap for the Phillies slugger, who’s batting .323 so far in June.
The left-hitting Schwarber is enjoying strong reverse splits once again, batting .292 vs. lefties with a massive 1.013 OPS, and he’ll enjoy squaring up against Mets southpaw David Peterson tonight.
Peterson goes to his sinker 28.9% of the time, and that’s a pitch Schwarber is mashing for a .407 average.
Give me this prop at any price up to -140.
Juan Soto Over 1.5 hits + runs + RBI (-120)
The New York Mets may struggle against Wheeler, but Juan Soto has had some success against the Phillies veteran over the years.
Soto is batting .259 over 54 career at bats vs. Wheeler, and he’s cleaned up against righties this season, hitting .314 with a 1.063 OPS.
The Mets slugger is batting .356 over the last 15 days, which comes as no surprise given his impressive batting profile. Soto ranks in the 99th percentile in xSLG, 97th percentile in xBA, and 99th percentile in squared-up percentage — just to highlight a few stats.
Soto’s cashed this prop in six of his last nine outings, and I’ll play it to -125 tonight.
