Hovering just over the .500 mark, the New York Mets will be trying to decide if they're buyers or sellers starting Friday night in their MLB betting matchup against the division-leading Philadelphia Phillies.

Possibly outfielder Carlos Beltran, who bounced back to hit .285 with 58 RBI over the first half of the season. Beltran's been rumored to be going out west to San Francisco.

However, Beltran will still be a member of the Mets on Friday night when the club begins their home series against the Phillies. R.A. Dickey (4-7, 3.61 ERA) heads to the hill for New York on Friday, and the Mets are 4-0 in his last four starts.

The Mets are on the very edge of the  playoff chase, with David Wright and Jose Reyes both on the disabled list to start the second half of the season. New York's already dealt away closer Francisco Rodriguez (to the Brewers), so who might be next?

Righthander Dickey has given up three or fewer runs in nine of his past 10 outings.

Countering for the Phillies on Friday will be Vance Worley (4-1, 2.20 ERA), who hasn't looked out of place since joining Philly's 'Rotation of Aces'.

Righthander Worley has made eight starts for Philadelphia so far this season, allowing one or fewer runs in six of them. However, Worley was rocked by the Mets in New York on May 29, giving up eight runs (five earned) over just three innings of work.

Philadelphia remains the NL Pennant favorite heading into this series, sitting at 11/10 on those Bodog odds. The Phillies are also at 11/4 on the current World Series odds list, well ahead of the Mets at 125/1 odds. New York sits at 60/1 to claim the pennant.

Head over to Bodog's sportsbook for the latest lines and totals for this weekend series.
