New York will benefit from a potentially favorable pitching matchup on Saturday, as three-time Cy Young winner Max Scherzer takes the mound. Can Scherzer turn things around for the Mets, or will Philadelphia continue to roll? I’ll discuss that in my free MLB picks for the Mets vs. Phillies on June 24.

At age 38, Max Scherzer seems to be showing signs of aging this year. Unlike his stellar performance in 2022, he’s been inconsistent for the New York Mets — posting an ERA of 4.04 in his first 64 2/3 innings of work.
However, there have been signs of improvement for the veteran righty. Scherzer is coming off perhaps his best start of the year on Monday, where he allowed just one run on four hits over eight innings in a win over the Houston Astros. Scherzer struck out eight batters in the winning effort.
That’s been one thing Mad Max has been able to do regardless of whether he wins or loses. While he’s not quite the dominant hurler he once was, Scherzer is still averaging 9.5 Ks per nine innings — a respectable mark. In four of his last five starts, Scherzer has struck out at least eight batters. That includes a seven-inning, nine-K performance against the Philadelphia Phillies at Citi Field on June 1.
The Phillies are one of the more susceptible teams to whiffing in the majors. Their batters are striking out 9.16 times per game on the season — a number that promises to rise even higher against Scherzer and similar pitchers.
With Scherzer on the mound, the Mets should have the advantage in this matchup. However, I think the sportsbooks have done a good job pricing the game today. Instead, I’m going to target Max's strikeouts prop.
Most sites have set this at 6.5, which seems low given Scherzer’s recent form, Philadelphia’s propensity for strikeouts, and Scherzer’s success against the Phillies. Let’s take the Over on a number that Scherzer should easily surpass. My best bet: Max Scherzer Over 6.5 strikeouts (-105) Mets vs Phillies same-game parlay Scherzer 7+ Ks Mets ML Mets to score first Scherzer is likely to dominate the Phillies this afternoon, and that’s the basis for this same-game parlay. We’ll start by including my best bet, picking Scherzer to record at least seven strikeouts against Philadelphia today.
The Mets will have the advantage with Scherzer on the mound, so it makes sense to throw a moneyline bet in here. The Phillies are starting unproven youngster Cristopher Sanchez, and that should be enough for New York to walk out of Citizens Bank Park with a win today.
Given that I expect Scherzer to shut down the Phillies — at least for a while, if nothing else — I also like New York to score the first run in this game. The visitor also has two other advantages in this regard. Sanchez is unlikely to stop the Mets from scoring completely, and as the road team, New York gets the first crack in the top of the first... which could be all it needs to win this leg of the SGP.  Learn how to bet a same-game parlay with these helpful tips an...
