Phillies and Mets are in similar spots and for far different reasons. Phillies it is all about their starting pitching and a little bit to do with their bullpen and the Mets have very good starting pitching and a weak roster of hitters but all in all this was not a bad year for the Mets as not much was expected from them.
Mets seem to always struggle in Philly losing 6 straight there and Friday they will fave off with Aaron Nola the Phillies lone above average starting pitcher. Aaron Nola is 12-4 with a 3.53 ERA this season 187 strike outs and just 62 walks and when he pitches the Phillies are tough to beat. Last 3 starts Nola has gone 7 innings in each and has been rock solid.

That what the Phillies will need on Friday night a nice long start from Nola. Phillies are extra tough in Philly at Citizens Bank Park where they have a record of 40-29. Mets come in after a devastating series with the Cubs and before that the Nationals this team is toast they are done and I think some of the players are playing down as well.
Former first round pick Zach Wheeler is on the mound on Friday he has very similar numbers to Nola except in the win and ERA catagory as Wheeler is a good strike out pitcher but just cant seem to get a team out and the Mets do not score enough for him in his starts. Wheeler last to times out got knocked around a little bit.

Phillies are right there in it and need this series badly versus the Mets this is a game they must win and a series they must take look for them to come out very strong in game one and the juice that we lay with the Phillies really is not to high considering we have a desperate home team with their best arm on the mound. Phillies win here big and easy 4-0
