Pre-game buzz
The Phillies are on a high. They pulled a four-game sweep over the Washington Nationals and have won nine out of their last ten games. Bryce Harper and Rhys Hoskins have been the stars for the Phillies and will be keen on extending the good run. Harper has seven dingers to his credit hitting .287 while Hoskins at .267 has six home runs against his name.
The Mets on the other hand, are coming off a 2-1 series win against the Orioles. They're currently placed fourth in the division and the win against Baltimore should do a world of good for the side which has been consistent in patches. Rick Porcello will be the starting pitcher for them against the Phillies.
Who will win?
It is an interesting match-up with both teams coming in on a confident note. But with the Mets finding some momentum against the Orioles, they might have the edge over the Phillies. However, we will be going with the Phillies to draw first blood.
