The New York Mets and the Philadelphia Phillies will play the rubber game of their 3-game set in a late one tonight in Queens. New York has not lost a series this season and I don’t see that happening tonight.. Max Scherzer is slated on the hill for the Mets and Max has been throwing flames as usual. Scherzer is a perfect 3-0 with a 1.80 ERA, a 0.76 WHIP, and in his career against the Phillies he has dominated, going 15-4 with a 2.47 ERA. Zach Eflin is expected to get the nod for the Phillies. He is 1-1 with a 3.20 ERA, a WHIP of 1.12, and had better go deep into the game because Philadelphia’s bullpen is depleted after using 6 pitchers yesterday in their 4-1 win over New York. The Mets are 6-3 at Citi Field and following a loss they are 5-0 in their last 5.
TONIGHT’S PICK: NEW YORK METS
