The Philadelphia Phillies entered this match-up in the Big Apple with the division rival New York Mets having lost nine series in a row. Now following Saturday night’s 10-5 spanking from the hosts at Citi Field, the Phillies are in a precarious situation for Sunday’s finale.
In order to avoid a 10th consecutive series defeat the Phillies will have to overcome the National League Cy Young Award favorite. The Mets will send Jacob deGrom to the mound, and beating him should prove a Herculean task for this inconsistent Phillies offense.
