Who is starting for the Mets?
RHP Zack Wheeler (4.69 ERA/1.30 WHIP), secured a win against the Cubs in his last start. He allowed just one run on five hits while striking out five and walking one over seven innings of work.
Hopefully this can be a good trend Wheeler can start, as his last outing was the first time since May 10 he allowed two runs or less.
Who is starting for the Phillies?
RHP Aaron Nola (4.55 ERA/1.45 WHIP), who took a loss to the Marlins despite dominating. He allowed two runs (one earned) on six hits while striking out 10 and walking one over eight innings.
Upcoming schedule
The Mets return home for a weekend series against the NL East-leading Braves, starting Friday night at 7:10 p.m.
