New York rode a breakout from Luis Torrens to crush Philadelphia 13-3 in the opener of a pivotal NL East series. Torrens, batting ninth, went 3-for-5 with a home run and five RBIs, including a run-scoring double off Cristopher Sánchez that chased him from the game. Kodai Senga vs. Sánchez was meant to be the marquee duel, but Torrens' night sparked a Mets attack that leaned on contributions from across the order, even as Lindor went 0-for-6.

Entering the night, Torrens carried a .575 OPS, making the nine-hole outburst even more dramatic. Francisco Alvarez was out with an injury, so the lineup leaned on steadying performances from others as the Mets cut the Phillies’ NL East lead to six games. With six more head-to-head matchups left this season, New York will need this kind of multi-spot production to keep pace in a tight division race.

Phillies and Mets square off at Citi Field with 32 games left in the NL East race. Cristopher Sánchez has surged into Philadelphia’s ace role after Wheeler’s season-ending injury, posting 11-4 with a 2.46 ERA and high fWAR among starters. Kodai Senga of New York aims to rebound from a winless stretch since returning from the IL. At the plate, Schwarber’s league-leading RBI and NL-high homers pace PHI while Lindor keys NYM’s offense. A sweep would clinch the division for PHI; a Mets sweep could reshape the chase. Other bets on the slate include Rays-Guardians, Tigers-Athletics, Reds-Dodgers, plus a WNBA note on Breanna Stewart’s return.

Francisco Lindor is heating up for the Mets, riding an 11-game hit streak and four homers in that span as he pushes toward another 30-homer season. He’s at 25 through 127 games in 2025 and carries MLB homer odds up to +475 Sunday against Bryce Elder and the Braves, fuel for a strong betting angle given his 6-10 line with 2 homers vs Elder. Beyond Lindor, Soto and Nick Kurtz also draw attention as top HR bets, with a model-driven approach backing value plays across the slate and BetMGM parlay potential of +10480.

The SportsLine Projection Model simulates every MLB game 10,000 times, boasting a standout run this season and carving out several big-parlay winners. New user promos from BetMGM, FanDuel and bet365 back the wagering case, while bettors can find MLB HR props for most games across major sportsbooks. This is a Sunday-long value play landscape with Lindor as a centerpiece for Mets backers.

Three MLB homer bets anchor today’s betting slate: Lindor, Bell and Witt Jr., each paired with favorable matchups. Lindor is projected to homer against Cal Quantrill after Quantrill’s waiver move to the Braves; Bell is lined up against Aaron Nola with Bell owning three career homers off Nola; Witt Jr. stands out against Detroit’s Chris Paddack as he chases his 19th of the year. The piece also notes Lindor’s season-long power (25+ HR) and Nola’s rough form (ERA around 6.92, HR/9 near 1.9), plus a BetMGM sign-up bonus.

Odds are refreshed periodically, and the piece closes with responsible-gambling reminders and bet-claims for new BetMGM users. The narrative centers on targeted prop bets and matchup nuances rather than a broad season-long forecast, delivering crisp, actionable angles for fantasy bettors and daily wagerers alike.
