Philadelphia Phillies vs. New York Mets preview
The Phillies host the Mets at Citizens Bank Park Wednesday night in what could be a pivotal late-season divisional clash, with Philadelphia sitting eight games ahead at 84-60 while New York battles for playoff positioning at 76-68.
Clay Holmes takes the ball for the Mets against Phillies southpaw Cristopher Sanchez in a matchup of contrasting styles, with Holmes carrying a 3.68 career ERA over 484 innings pitched.
Philadelphia's offense has been steady this season, averaging 4.74 runs per game behind 178 home runs, though they've struck out 1,163 times which ranks middle of the pack.
The Mets counter with a slightly more explosive attack at 4.8 runs per contest, powered by 197 long balls, but their pitching staff has surrendered 128 homers which could spell trouble against a Phillies lineup that's shown pop all year.
Sanchez brings a solid 3.32 ERA and excellent control to the mound for Philadelphia, having allowed just 8.5 hits per nine innings in his career with a strikeout-to-walk ratio of 3.83.
Both bullpens have been workhorses this season, with the Phillies' relievers appearing in 160 high-leverage situations compared to 170 for New York, setting up what should be a tightly contested affair in South Philadelphia.
