After splitting a two-game set against the Red Sox, the Phillies will welcome the Mets to Citizens Bank Park for a five(!)-game series. In theory, five games against a bad team is a good thing, and provides the Phillies with plenty of opportunities for some much-needed wins.
Unfortunately, since these games are against the Mets, it probably won’t be that easy. For whatever reason, when the Phillies play the Mets, the games are usually un-entertaining slogs, and the Phillies end up losing most of them.
Hopefully the Phillies can reverse that trend.
