The New York Mets (71-68) begin their penultimate homestand, which runs for ten days, with a three-game set against the Philadelphia Phillies (72-67). Last weekend, the Mets took the first two games from the Phillies before dropping the series finale on Sunday Night Baseball. In losing 10 of their first 16 games against Philadelphia in 2019, New York dropped their first season series to their long-time division rivals since 2011.
The Mets concluded a 4-2 road trip by taking two out of three against the Washington Nationals. It was a good road trip, but all in all it could have been significantly better.
