The Philadelphia Phillies are coming off a four-game sweep over the Wahington Nationals. The Phillies will trot out Jake Arrieta for today's start. He is just 2-4 this season with a 6.49 ERA and 18 strikeouts in 26.1 innings.

The Mets are coming off a come from behind win over the New York Yankees 9-7 in ten innings. The Mets fell behind both 4-0 and 7-4 but battled back and won it on a walk-off two-run homer from Pete Alonso in the tenth. The Mets will send Rick Porcello to the mound. He is 1-4 in seven starts with a 6.00 ERA and 27 Ks in 33.0 innings.


Arrieta only went 1.1 innings in his last outing. Porcello has had just 2 quality starts in his seven starts this season. I cant trust Porcello on the mound against anyone. Arrieta should be better and is a better team.

Play on Philadelphia.
