The Phillies and Mets will enter this weekend’s series tied for first place in the NL East. Philadelphia has won 7 of its last 8 games while New York is on a six game losing streak. All three games are nationally televised. Temperatures for the weekend will reach the mid to upper 90s.
Needless to say, it’s going to be a fun weekend.
The series has as much stakes as a series in late June can have. Last time the two teams played, the Phillies were throughly dominated by the Mets, getting swept out of Citi Field and outscored 14-8.
