The fans in Philadelphia have to be growing restless with how their team ha looked so far in this series.

On the other side of this matchup is the Mets who have a strong pitching rotation and it has led them to success this season. Dominic Smith has been the best offensive player so far this season for the Mets hitting two home runs and driving in six RBI’s.
On the mound for the Phillies is Zach Eflin who struggled in the last season against the Phillies going six innings giving up seven hits and four runs.
On the mound for the Mets will be Jacob deGrom who has gone 14 innings so far this season giving up only one run total.
