Why you should support the Phillies
Sanchez is coming off an 11-9 season in which he posted a 3.32 ERA with 153 strikeouts in 181 2/3 innings pitched. He made three starts against the Mets during the regular season and went 1-0 with a 3.06 ERA while striking out 19 in 17 2/3 innings. Philadelphia won all three of those starts, including a pair of victories over a five-day span last month with Sánchez on the bump.
The Phillies went 7-6 against the Mets during the regular season and held a 1-0 lead in the eighth inning on Saturday before a late Mets rally. They are also 54-27 at home this season and hope to take advantage of the home court on Sunday to level the series. See here which team you should choose.
Why you should support the Mets
Faced with the prospect of trailing in the series as they entered the eighth inning trailing 1-0, the Mets were able to put a five-spot on the board in the top half of the inning and went on to win 6-2. Mark Vientos and Brandon Nimmo both had multi-hit games with at least one RBI and the Mets got six innings of shutout work out of their bullpen before allowing a run in the ninth inning.
It was the third time in the last five meetings with the Phillies that the Mets scored at least six runs. Meanwhile, New York’s pitching and defense have held Philadelphia to a total of six points during the current three-game winning streak against their NL East rivals.
