New York Mets lefty Sean Manaea has had a decent season, but he has a difficult home matchup with the Philadelphia Phillies.

Manaea has been exceptional as of late. His previous six outings have all been quality starts; NY has won all six, and he's whiffed 48 hitters during that six-start span.

As great as the Mets lefty has been recently, he's had mixed results in his two home starts this season against the Phillies. He got bombed across 3 2-3 frames in his June 8 start and went six innings on May 13.

Poor performances seem to be a pattern for Manaea against the Phillies. Dating back to 2017, the Mets southpaw is 1-2 with a 5.64 ERA and has only pitched past the sixth frame in one of his five career starts against the Phillies.

That's why we have a good chance to start the day with (+) money. The Phillies lead the show in creating runs against lefties (121 wRC+). Their current lineup slashes .357/.403/.743/1.145 with seven bombs and 25 hits across 105 career plate appearances against Manaea, and I see an early hook for the Mets southpaw.
