The New York Mets are looking to turn their season around as they face the Philadelphia Phillies. The Mets are currently 17 games under .500 and need to play .650 or better baseball to make it to the postseason.
Team Performance
The Phillies, on the other hand, have been dominating since their turnaround. They fired their manager and hired Don Mattingly, who has proven to be a transformational manager. The Phillies have a solid roster and are in position to be a tough out in the playoffs.
Aaron Nola will be starting for the Phillies, and he has been struggling this season. He has a 5.75 ERA and a 1.43 WHIP before the All-Star break. However, he did have a decent outing against the Mets earlier in the season.
Christian Scott will be starting for the Mets, and he has been consistent this season. He has a 3.17 ERA and a 1.30 WHIP, and he has been slightly better on the road.
Juan Soto has had success against Nola, with 12 hits and 5 home runs in 45 at-bats. This could be a key factor in the game, and Soto’s performance could make a big difference.
