Phillies are just the 4th place team in the Eastern Division and it all comes down to starting pitching and the Phillies have the worst starting rotation in the division even behind I would argue the last place Marlins and example of that rears it's ugly head in game 2 of this series tonight as both teams battle it out for a wild card spot.
Phillies send former Texas Rangers pitcher Drew Smyly to the mound he started out ok in his first two starts with the Phillies but he is what he is a below average starting pitcher he comes in with a 2-1 record for the Phillies 4.57 ERA 46 strike outs and 15 walks. For the season he is 3-6 with a 6.65 ERA.

Phillies come in off a losses and really have no room for error as they sit at 72-67 on the season and just 31-36 on the road. So being on the road is another mark against them add to that the Mets are 37-27 and have a desperate Marcus Strohman on the mound in search of a good start for his new team.
Strohman is 1-1 with a 4.55 ERA he has 31 strike outs and 14 walks in his time with the Mets. But for the season he has much better numbers. Marcus is 7-12 with a 3.28 ERA he has a 3.28 ERA over 156 innings pitched. This guy just has not gotten the run support with the Jays or Mets.

Free Betting Pick: Mets
Mets have the better starter and that should be apparent early on Saturday as I see the Mets smacking Smyly around early and often. Phillies batters have struggled against the Mets this year and yes the number is a little juicy but this should be no sweat as the Mets win this game easy 12-4.
