Phillies Preview
The Phillies had a chance to gain ground on the Braves and solidify the No. 2 spot in the AL East standings, but the Phillies ended up splitting their series with the Braves.
The Phillies are 21-24 and sit in third place in the NL East standings. The Phillies are 7.5 games behind the Mets, so this series has big early-season implications for the Phillies.

However, their starter, Bailey Falter, is very inexperienced and he has just one start under his belt.

Falter has appeared in five games this season but has only started one game.
His one start was last week against the Mariners and he allowed one run on five hits in 4.2 innings pitched. For the season, he has a 3.75 ERA, a 4.64 FIP, and a 1.25 WHIP.
Mets Preview
Despite missing Jacob DeGrom all season so far, the Mets are rolling and there is excitement in the air in Queens. The Mets are 29-17 and have a 7.5-game lead in the NL East.
Yes, it is early in the season, but the Mets have put together some tremendous performances to show they mean business. I am excited to see this team when DeGrom and Scherzer are both back healthy and leading the rotation.
One of the unsung heroes for the Mets is starting pitcher Carlos Carrasco, and he will get the nod tonight against the Phillies. Carrasco has yet to face the Phillies this season.
Through his eight starts, the Mets have split wins and losses 4-4 and Carrasco is pitching to a tune of a 3.50 ERA, a 2.94 FIP, and a 1.14 WHIP.
