The Phillies are not going to have any issues scoring runs, and if the pitching can excel this team should reach the postseason. They improved the bullpen in the offseason.

This Mets bullpen has been struggling to begin the year and Max Scherzer is stretched out as he threw 80 pitches in his first start of the regular season. With DeGrom hurt, Scherzer is squarely at the top of the rotation for now, something that he may or may not have prepared himself for prior to the season.

The powerful Phillies lineup due to bounce back and are driving up his pitch count and forcing him to throw a lot of pitches.



In four starts vs. the NY Mets in 2021, Nola went 1-1 with a 2.25 ERA and 33 Ks with five BBs in 20 innings. The Mets are 8-20 in the last 28 meetings here at Citizens Bank.
The Mets are 1-7 in their last eight games against the Phillies so go with the Philadelphia Phillies to win this game after getting shutout last night.
