A better showing against the Mets can go a long way for the Phillies

Another NL East showdown is here.

The Phillies will welcome in the New York Mets for a four-game series that starts on Monday, matchups that will go a long way in deciding who will take home the division crown this year.

Philly currently holds a seven-game lead over New York with 19 games left to play in the season, meaning a series win will all but wrap up the division title for the Phillies. However, a series loss leaves the door open for the Mets to make a late-season push to snatch the pennant away from Philadelphia.
