The Mets are coming into this game with a 3-2 record overall and they are 3-2 in their road games this season where they will be in this game. They are coming into this game on a 2 game winning streak. They just won their 4-game series against the Washington Nationals 3-1 and they are playing the 3rd game of a 3-game series with the Phillies on Wednesday night. This will be the series finale of the series on Wednesday night with the 2nd game still to be played on Tuesday night. Tylor Megill is the starting pitcher for them on Tuesday while Max Scherzer will be on the mound for them here on Wednesday. He is 1-0 with a 4.50 ERA to start this season. His team won their last game with him as the starter. In his last start, he allowed 3 ER, 1 being a HR, and 1 BB with 6 Ks on 3 hits through 6 IP against the Washington Nationals. They scored 19 runs in their last series averaging just under 5 runs scored per game in that span and they allowed 8 runs against them averaging 2 runs allowed per game.

 

The Phillies are coming into this game with a 3-1 record overall and they are 3-1 in their home games this season where they will be in this game. They have won 3 of their last 4 games and are coming into this one off of a win in their last game. They just won their 3-game series against the Oakland Athletics 2-1 and they are playing the 3rd game of a 3-game series with the Mets on Wednesday night. This will be the series finale of the series on Wednesday night with the 2nd game still to be played on Tuesday night. Zack Wheeler is the starting pitcher for them on Tuesday while Aaron Nola will be on the mound for them here on Wednesday. He is 1-0 with a 6.00 ERA this season. His team won his last game with him as the starter. In his last start, he allowed 4 earned runs, 2 homers, and 0 BB with 7 strikeouts on 4 hits through 6 innings played against the Oakland Athletics. They scored 14 runs in their last series averaging 4.5 runs scored per game in that span and they allowed 11 runs against them averaging just under 4 runs allowed per game.

 

The Mets have had a great start to the season but they lost their series finale with the Nationals and they likely lost some confidence after this series opener where they blew a 4-0 lead and lost 5-4. They spent a lot of money on their team in the offseason and they have high expectations this season so they need to be able to bounce back after back-to-back losses like that. They have their ace on the mound here though as Max Scherzer is starting and he has plenty of experience facing the Phillies from his years on the Nationals. He still has some gas left in the tank and their hitter will likely play their best here knowing they have their best shot in this game with him starting. Aaron Nola had an awful start in his first game this season for the Phillies and he will likely not bounce back as quick with this lineup staring him down. The Mets will be able to score some runs on him here while Scherzer keeps the Phillies from scoring that often. The Mets will win this game and back on the roll they were on to start the season.
