The Phillies are somewhat in the hunt for the NL East crown, but it will be quite a feat for them to pull it off. The Phillies would have to leap frog a couple of teams and those teams would not be able to win any of the games for the Phils to catch up to them. With the Phillies being 5 games under the five hundred mark on the road it could be very difficult for the team to bring home a win. Playing against the Mets, the Phillies chances really diminish quite a bit more as the Mets are 10 games over the five hundred mark at home.
Bryce Harper is the hitter who the Phillies have come to rely on this year for the team when it comes to hitting. He has managed to hit 30 homers this year and brought home 100 runners. Jean Segura is the hitter who has been able to hit at a clip of .283 this year. Pete Alonso is the power hitter for the Mets with 45 homers and 105 RBIs. Jeff McNeil has ended up hitting at a clip of .324 this year.

The Mets are a team that has been able to play decent on the year so far at home. However, the Phillies are a team that has had some problems in playing on the road and with Velasquez on the mound can have some issues as well. What else helps the Mets out in this game is the fact that Syndergaard has managed to pitch decent for the team and helped to contain the opponents offense. Final Score, New York Mets win 6-4.
